Microsoft has fixed a recently confirmed Windows 11 issue in a newly released build for Windows Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview channels.
This issue would prevent apps from opening on multiple client and server Windows versions after being repaired or updated using the Windows Installer system tool.
348 only for Windows Insiders is also expected to roll out to all impacted Windows 11 customers during the December 2021 Patch Tuesday.
"We fixed a known issue that might prevent apps, such as Kaspersky apps, from opening after you attempt to repair or update the apps using the Microsoft Installer," the Windows Insider Program Team said.
While Microsoft is now providing Windows Insiders running the latest Windows 11 beta build with a fix, users of all other Windows versions impacted by this issue will have to wait for a future update.
Microsoft is also readying an update to address another issue impacting Windows 11 customers that can trigger blue screens of death on systems with Intel Smart Sound Technology audio DSP drivers.
