But when I did this today, PowerLauncher consumed a huge amount of memory in a short time, and then the program crashed.

📷 Screenshots

Are there any useful screenshots? WinKey+Shift+S and then just paste them directly into the form

In addition, what is distressing is that PowerLauncher usually has a large memory footprint, about 350MB, is there any good way?

any chance you can share the logs? Do you maybe have a networked drive?

%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Logs

@zhangzhilinx
Open a command prompt and run "%PROGRAMFILES%\PowerToys\Tools\BugReportTool.exe" (the double quotes are important)
that will create a zip file on you desktop named like this PowerToysReport_2021-01-04-12-02-08.zip
You can drag and drop it in a GitHub comment. It will help us to investigate the issue.

Sorry, I was dealing with work today and couldn't reply in time.
I'm sure I don't have a networked drive installed on my system.

I experienced the same issue, v0.37.2. I had just been using the run box as a calculator.

Here are the last few entries in the log file. The last line is the most notable.

Agree, 14 seconds seems insane for something that should be very small.
