But logically, if it occurs after a fresh clean install of Windows, then it most certainly will if another account was created for testing purposes. Now 1 of things I could have done was create another account & see if the same issue occurs. I even went as far as trying to rebuild the search index as I heard that can help, but that didn't as well. It didn't find any, but I ran the Dism commands anyway, but they didn't do anything. Now for what I have tried on my own in terms of trying to troubleshoot/fix the issue: 1 of the 1st things I tried was running the System File Checker in Command Prompt to see if it detected any corrupt system files. There's some common sense for all the younger generations & misinformed people out there!

I don't have or use any sketchy type of software on my system because if you do end up downloading & using something that sounds too good to be true, it usually is & it will eventually cause system problems for you. Also, I already have the latest drivers, system updates, & BIOS on my system since I like to stay on top of that sort of thing anyway. Thankfully, Windows got installed perfectly fine as always since I've done this before. I used the latest ISO available from Microsoft's website.

When I did my last fresh, clean install of Windows, I actually re-created my installation media via Rufus instead of via the Media Creation Tool since it's not perfect. Here are some of the facts that you should know: If anyone didn't know or notice, I have a custom setup & the specs of my pc are listed on my profile. The last instance which I tend to label in this case as a "temporary solution" involves opening File Explorer, then firing up Task Manager to restart File Explorer which helps, but do bear in mind that this doesn't fix the underlying cause/issue it's more like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. If I click on the All Apps section in the Start Menu if I want to open an app or something else, at least that works fine. Oddly enough, it works perfectly fine after a reboot but for only a certain amount of time before it just starts acting up again. But there are a few exceptions to this which I have noticed though: 1. Welp, I guess this is my 1st post here, but I'm hoping someone here can help me out with this weird issue I've had.Īs the title obviously states it, this is by far 1 of most strange/bizarre issues I've noticed with Windows 11: Pinned apps don't want to open like they're supposed to which is a bit frustrating to say the least.
