Error Log

Because error log is nothing, so I will upload two configure Flow Launcher settings to compare.

I'm not sure this is my UserData problem, but basically these two folders are almost the same. Hope you can find the error. UserData_on_pic_1.zip UserData_on_pic_2.zip

After restarting Flow, will this program be shown in the list?

I have observed an issue that Program plugin cannot work after Windows resumes.

No, once this error has occurred, it will be until you have to fix the setup file, or something like that. Because I tried plug-in settings and reset them, everything didn't work. Image

Except for UWP applications, these applications are all searching normally.

I just got this error back when I started my computer with a new UserData. This is an unrecoverable error on another machine. I'm going to try installing another version of Windows to test it out.

Same issue: suddenly, I cannot search my apps. I tried reinstalling completely (deleting %appdata%) and reverting back to the previous version, but I still cannot search my apps. Did anyone has a workaround?
