@rintrint Good day, thanks for the report. I've tried switching my system to Chinese simplified and using PowerRename to rename a file with non-unicode characters, but it still didn't crash. Could you please try to find a filename that consistently causes PowerRename to crash?

@yuyoyuppe Thank you for your reply.
I tried to reproduce my issue in a VM. I found that the problem is input method.
The input methods have this problem:
Japanese when turn on "Use previous version of Microsoft IME"
Chinese(Traditional, Taiwan) when turn on "Use previous version of Microsoft Bopomofo"
Switch input method to one of them, then PowerRename can crash.

I tested it in Windows 10 22H2.
The issue only exists in the input method; the system language and filename does not affect it.

@rintrint thanks for the help, I was able to reproduce the crash. This seems to be an internal WinUI issue, so I've posted it there - microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#9216.

This should be fixed by WinAppSDK 1.5.1 upgrade looking at the internal bug. @yuyoyuppe can we validate?

If so, this should be resolved with .80

@jaimecbernardo fyi too, i think this is fixed by 1.5.1 upgrade, we just need to validate

After I updated to the latest version, the issue never happened again. Thanks.
