Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.97.0
### Installation method
Microsoft Store
### Area(s) with issue?
Advanced Paste
### Steps to reproduce
I have copied a .wma file captured from OneNote - a meeting audio file - and I want to convert it to an MP3 to capture the transcript.
Activating the Advanced Paste shortcut (Shift+Windows Key+V) triggers the Advanced Paste dialog but the window freezes and there are no options to select the desired output. The text box asking to describe the action is not allowing input:
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
The previous version would present me with the option to transcode to mp3 and it worked.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
Nothing. The Advanced Paste dialog freezes.
### Additional Information
OS Version: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0
.NET Version: .NET 9.0.12
PowerToys is running as user (non-elevated)
Install scope: per machine (system)
Operating System Language: English (United Kingdom)

Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named in the report. Begin by reproducing the freeze with a copied .wma file and the Shift+Windows Key+V shortcut; done means Advanced Paste remains responsive and again offers MP3 transcoding and text input.
