maybe it’s not related but after random missing icons in start menu, photos stopped working and no matter what i did (tried to reset the app) i couldn’t fix it. its status says, “Modified, NeedsRemediation”, but i didn’t do anything (haven’t even installed updates) except installing visual cpp runtime from the game battlefield 3.
photos in windows 11 depends on vclibs 140 which distributed separately through the store, so perhaps there was a conflict. if that is the case, shouldn’t there be a warning somewhere before unsuspecting users or overly-creative programs install something that may break the system? interestingly the game also didn’t work! bleh
looks like windows needs to be reinstalled again 🙁
