Summary

I did following in power shell


PS C:\Users\Sumeet> komorebic quickstart
C:\Users\Sumeet\komorebi.json will be overwritten, do you want to continue? (y/N): y
C:\Users\Sumeet\komorebi.bar.json will be overwritten, do you want to continue? (y/N): y
C:\Users\Sumeet\applications.json will be overwritten, do you want to continue? (y/N): y
C:\Users\Sumeet\.config\whkdrc will be overwritten, do you want to continue? (y/N): y

The following example files were written:
C:\Users\Sumeet\komorebi.json
C:\Users\Sumeet\komorebi.bar.json
C:\Users\Sumeet\applications.json
C:\Users\Sumeet\.config\whkdrc

You can now run komorebic start --whkd --bar
PS C:\Users\Sumeet> komorebic start --whkd --bar --config C:\Users\Sumeet\komorebi.json
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -ArgumentList '--config="C:\Users\Sumeet\komorebi.json"' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...Started!

if (!(Get-Process whkd -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
  Start-Process whkd -WindowStyle hidden
}


if (!(Get-Process komorebi-bar -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
  Start-Process komorebi-bar -WindowStyle hidden
}


Thank you for using komorebi!

Have you tried this (if it's applicable for you?)

If not, please try running komorebi-bar.exe directly and sharing any log output
