Failed to start extension Riri.WebSearchShortcut_0.0.3.0_x64__n7w7pg6r3cfgr: System.TimeoutException: The operation has timed out.

About 1/3 of the time that my machine restarts, I notice that WebSearchShortcut hasn't loaded with CmdPal. In looking at the log file this morning, this is what I see when it fails to load:

[07:40:57.2817603] [Debug] TopLevelCommandManager.cs::StartExtensionWithTimeoutAsync::277
Starting Riri.WebSearchShortcut_0.0.3.0_x64__n7w7pg6r3cfgr

at Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels.TopLevelCommandManager.StartExtensionWithTimeoutAsync(IExtensionWrapper extension)

I figured that I'd create an issue here but am not sure if this would be related to WebSearchShortcut, CmdPal, or PowerToys. I don't have this issue with anything else.

I've had the issue with WebSearchShortcut_0.0.2.0, previous versions of CmdPal, and previous versions of PowerToys.

Thoughts?

Is the issue you encountered sporadic? Can the WebSearchShortcut successfully load when executing reload?

Typically this will be fixed if I restart close and restart PowerToys. Occasionally I have to restart twice to get it fixed.

Oh, gotcha. I’m away from the computer until Thursday, but I’ll give this a try and let you know.

I had the issue again this morning. Doing a reload did fix the issue. That's certainly faster than stopping/starting PowerToys.
