If you’re attempting to roll again Windows 11’s 2022 Update to an earlier time limit, watch out: a number of functions inside Windows might not open in consequence.

Microsoft has printed KB5023152, an error message that warns that apps that use the MSIX Windows app format might undergo glitches or just refuse to open. In plainer English, that signifies that apps like Office, Cortana, Notepad, Paint, and Terminal might return error messages or just refuse to launch. But different apps could also be affected, too.

The glitches aren’t constant, both. Microsoft lists the next as potential app behaviors:

• An error message “This app can’t open” is displayed as an alternative of the app beginning.
• The app might need a number of entries on the Start menu.
• An app might not reply whenever you attempt to begin the app.
• An I/O error might happen, adopted by the app not responding, after which the app crashes.
• If you attempt to begin the app once more, the app now runs.

Right now, the errors solely plague Windows 11 22H2, formally often called the Windows 11 2022 Update. Microsoft doesn’t say that the corporate is engaged on a repair, nonetheless. For the second, the corporate’s builders are stymied by the difficulty. Workarounds embody attempting to launch the app once more, attempting to reinstall the app from the Microsoft Store, and working Windows Update—all of which might be a part of any primary troubleshooting.

Ironically, returning to an earlier system restore level is one other typical resolution to an issue with an software set up, as Tom’s Hardware, which filed an earlier report on the glitch, notes. Hopefully, Microsoft figures all this out quickly.
