I can confirm this issue, but I cannot confirm that it is fixed beyond v86.0.0.

I ran WizTree as an administrator to confirm the problem. It's stored at %SYSTEM%/config/systemprofile/AppData/Local/Microsoft/PowerToys/MouseWithoutBorder/Logs, and it appears to have been caused in v 86.0.0 on only one instance.

Looking through the log to see the error is a crazy idea, but I did it rather easily with PowerShell 'cat' (alias of Get-Content) and saw the error had to do with an infinite error loop about the process being unable to be terminated due to insufficient privileges:

(01/15 05:44:06.425(1578)The process PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders (PID=6068) could not be terminated, error: Access is denied.)
