A bug with Microsoft's PC repair feature is blocking apps from opening on Windows 11 PCs
Microsoft has admitted that a bug in the latest version of Windows 11 could cause apps to fail if the customer performs a System Restore.
System Restore, somewhat ironically, is a feature designed to get malfunctioning PCs working again. It allows users to roll the PC back to a point in time where the PC was working normally.Microsoft’s bug report states that users may see a “this app can’t open” message when they attempt to open apps, or that it simply won’t respond. The app might also have multiple entries on the Start menu or may crash when opened.
In some scenarios, the app may start to work normally if you simply attempt to re-open the app after the initial failure.Microsoft hasn’t produced an exhaustive list of apps that are affected by this bug, but among the programs affected are major pieces of software including Microsoft Office, Notepad, Paint and the Terminal.
Microsoft states that any Windows app using the MSIX Windows app package format is likely to be affected.
