2025-03-11T21:27:29+00:00 Hello ,
I’m here to help you in resolving your issue
you can try installing manually using below link
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search...
If you can’t edit TXT and BAT files after KB5050593 or KB5050188, try these:
Reset File Associations:
1: Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps.
2: Scroll down and click Reset to Microsoft recommended defaults.
3: Now, manually set:
TXT files > Notepad
BAT files > Notepad or CMD
4: Try editing a text or batch file again.
After trying above steps, please reach out to me if you have any doubts or issues
