    Can confirm this is an actual issue from Microsoft impacting lots of normal system apps that update via the Microsoft Store and/or Windows Update.

    I’ve seen it mess up Notepad, Snipping Tool to name a few.

    It’s pretty egregious that a bug like this can mess up utilities already installed on your computer.

    Windows is really feeling like a single-player video game that requires an always on connection.
