CrealityScan Software: USB3 issues

I posted this on FB and on Discord, but forgot to post it here…

Found a fix for an issue I’ve been having lately. Since the 3.2.45 and even with 3.2.46
I was unable to launch CrealityScan. I kept getting “this application not responding, please restart” (yes).

Generally I ignore things that popup in the notification area, but this time it led me to the fix.

It seems that the problem is with PowerToys windows application, it does not like other apps running in Administrator mode, without itself being in run in Administrator mode.

So if your like me and have this running…To fix it, I found this info on MS…

Go into powertoys settings, by right clicking on powertoys icon and choose settings.

Then click on the three bars (options menu), then click on general on the options menu, choose “restart powertoys as administrator”

Then go back into general settings and choose always run as administrator option and close.

I am now able to launch CrealityScan.exe in administrator mode.

If this is old news please disregard, but I wanted to share right away.
