It seems this is actually more related to RivaTunerStatisticsServer. I disabled all the monitoring in MSI afterburner which stops the server from running and now the layout editor works again. Still the same error/crash logs as before.

I'll adjust the title.

Sidenote: we had a similar issue in the past #455, but we could not reproduce it and it was for an older PowerToys version.

This problem keeps happening and in the lastest case PowerToys wasn't the only application affected
#1872
This seems an external problem, not something wrong in the FZ editor.
