    Sure, that 'fixes' it. The real question is, if that information is retrievable anyways... Why is it not a built-in part of windows. You get the error popup and it should just show two buttons: "Ok and "Find which program is using it"

    Powertoys is basically all the things the engineers internally couldn't stand not having but the business won't allow to be officially integrated.

    Well for a ton of the more niche tools I can see why they wouldn't integrate them. I say that even though I can't live without them at this point haha.

    But file locksmith, env variable viewer, basic stuff like that... Really should be built-in
