Updates for Windows applications - Malfunction with PowerToys updates

Hi,

While investigating an issue with clients that are waiting on some actions, I’ve noticed some machines that are providing the following log error many many times for a very long time: “Cannot empty _Download directory”.
After further diving in, I’ve noticed that “PowerToysSetup-x64.exe” process is hanging, and once terminating it the floodgates have opened.

I tried to understand what the reason for that is and realized that replacing the “–silent” with “/silent” resolved it.
I did not try using “skip_dotnet_install”
