Microsoft has addressed a bug causing Windows Search and the Start Menu to become unresponsive and some Windows applications to no longer open.
"The Start menu, Windows search, and Universal Windows Platform apps might not work as expected or might have issues opening," Microsoft says on the Windows health dashboard.
"Affected Windows devices might have damaged registry keys or data, which might affect apps using Microsoft Office APIs to integrate with Windows, Microsoft Office, or Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Calendar."
On Wednesday, Microsoft also addressed a known issue causing File Explorer freezes on Windows 11 and Windows Server devices after viewing effective access permissions for shared files.
Two weeks ago, the company also fixed a Windows 11 bug triggering intermittent file saving and copying failures on Windows 11 22H2 systems.
