Description

### Microsoft PowerToys version

0.100

### Installation method

GitHub

### Area(s) with issue?

Peek

### Steps to reproduce

Just enabled peek and tried to test it with the shortcut (Shift + Space). Instead of preview, a dialog box appears with error.

### ✔️ Expected Behavior

I want the peek window to show the preview of the file.

### ❌ Actual Behavior

Just enabled peek and tried to test it with the shortcut (Shift + Space). Also tried enabling and disabling the "Always run without elevation" setting. But no change. As soon as I press the trigger keys, an error appears in the pop up window (attached screenshot). I tried to test with different types (.py, .txt, .md, .jpg) of files but same error.

This was working previously, but stopped working since last 3-4 updates.

If I click on debug the program, then this window appears -

Here are the details about the error, when I tried to debug -

`Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFAD0AA3AE6 (CoreMessagingXP.dll) in PowerToys.Peek.UI.exe: 0xC000027B: An application-internal exception has occurred (parameters: 0x000001FD8B38BAC0, 0x0000000000000001).`

Here are the debug window logs -

Research direction

Reproduce the failure by enabling Peek and pressing Shift + Space on the reported .py, .txt, .md, and .jpg files. Start at the PowerToys.Peek.UI.exe entry point and the reported CoreMessagingXP.dll exception; done means the shortcut opens a preview instead of an error dialog.
