MWB - Failed to read settings: The process cannot access the file 'FILE.json' because it is being used by another process errors in Event Viewer

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

Mouse Without Borders

Steps to reproduce

For MWB, I am seeing an average of 150 Errors a day in the event event viewer.

The errors are always the same:

Failed to read settings: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\MouseWithoutBorders\settings.json' because it is being used by another process.

Note: I do see 2 process named Powertoys.MouseWithoutBNorders running simultaneously in Task Manager.

As far as I know, It's not affecting the usability of Mouse Without Borders. But I've been getting some system crashes from time to time. Not sure if it's related. That's why I went into my event viewer to look for a anything. The amount of MWB Errors stood out.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Not having 150 errors a day in event viewer

❌ Actual Behavior

Having 2500 Errors in 17 days since I installed PowerToys

Other Software
