PowerToys Peek spacebar & click on a .pdf file opens a window searching Microsoft store #44576

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.96.1

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Area(s) with issue?

Peek

Steps to reproduce

Installed PowerToys on my Windows 10 PC and worked well after installation, with the spacebar opening lots of selected .pdf files.

On restarting my PC a few days later, PowerToys Peek's stopped working. Selecting a .pdf file and then pressing the spacebar keeps causing a new PowerToys window to pop up and it states "Search in Microsoft Store", but never finds anything before I close it and keeps doing it for subsequent attempts.

Two attempts of Removing PowerToys and reinstalling it hasn't fixed the issue either, nor has changing the short cut to Ctrl+spacebar or Ctrl+Alt+spacebar.

Thanks

✔️ Expected Behavior

Open up the .pdf file in the Peek window, as it did on the first day of using PowerToys.

❌ Actual Behavior

As above ... Selecting a .pdf file and then pressing the spacebar keeps causing a new PowerToys window to pop up and it states "Search in Microsoft Store", but never finds anything before I close it and keeps doing it for subsequent attempts.
