Running komorebi.exe directly for detailed error output

komorebic check Output
Provide the output of komorebic check

For example:

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\me

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\me

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\me\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

In particular, if you have any other AHK scripts or software running that handle any aspect of window management or manipulation

komorebi does actually get launched after the 3 errors, after some delay.

It looks like this is an environment problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5800628/the-operation-was-canceled-by-the-user-exception-from-hresult-0x800704c7

My guess based on some quick Googling is that "security" prompts that would otherwise get shown if the processes were run in the foreground do not get shown when they are run in the background, and this eventually returns the not-very-helpful error you received.

Unless there is any new information to the contrary imo this is an issue that should be raised on the PowerShell repo.

This sounds like the problem, I'm not running as admin (and can't) and the binary isn't signed.

Update: I was able to eliminate this problem by following the steps described here

In short, go to properties of komorebi.exe in the installed directory (in my case, %USERPROFILE%\bin ), and set "Unblock". Komorebic start works properly now.
