There is a current bug affecting different Windows 11 apps that can cause them to experience various issues after performing a system restore. Issues range from crashes to boot failures and more. Microsoft is now aware of the issue and has come up with different workarounds for the issue. However, it's unclear whether a permanent solution is in the works.
According to Microsoft, the issue specifically occurs on devices running Windows 11 22H2, including Windows 11 22H2 SE, Home, Pro, Enterprise, Enterprise Multi-Session, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions. As for apps, the Redmond company says it's limited to Microsoft apps like Notepad, Paint, Office, Cortana, and Terminal. It notes that the list is long, as the bug affects "any Windows application that uses the MSIX Windows application package format."
Also, the symptoms of the problem may vary from user to user. Some of the experiences cited by Microsoft include an error message showing "This app can't be opened," multiple app entries on the Start menu, and apps becoming unresponsive. In some cases, users may also experience I/O errors, followed by the application becoming unresponsive and then crashing, the software company said. In some cases, apps on affected devices may not run on the first try, but will run soon after restarting them. Microsoft says that in addition to the symptoms mentioned, there are many more that users may experience.
Currently, there is no statement from the company confirming whether a fix is on the way, but it does offer some quick and easy workarounds that affected users can try. In addition to restarting the problematic Windows app, it also recommends running Windows Update and reinstalling the app from the Windows Store or the original source from which it was first installed.
Apart from this issue, different reports from Windows administrators and users say that they are now experiencing unresponsive Windows taskbar and Start menu as well as login issues in Outlook and Teams. Others added that they also experienced application launch failures, corrupted Windows Search, and Azure Active Directory login issues.
