1. Are you using the Wayland or X11 session?
2. Is the "xembedsniproxy" process running?
Comment 2 thomas_toulouse 2022-08-15 17:21:03 UTC
I am on wayland  and  xembedsniproxy is running

I just found the problem the problem was in ~/.config/kwinrc

to solve it I just rename my  .config and rebooted my computer
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2022-09-29 01:25:29 UTC
