and here https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/12513

Description: when my device goes to sleep it closes my apps which were installed with Microsoft Store.

Device: Microsoft Laptop Studio

System: Windows 11, all updates installed, drivers up to date.

Tried: all solutions from topics above.

  1. Reset Microsoft Store.
  2. Re-register all its apps and store itself with a powershell (successfully).

Result: none.

Additional info: I'm using 4-6 desktops and constantly switching between. If I have some of MS apps on some screen it can be closed (without any crash message) just on desktop switching (but not always). If laptop goes to sleep - all MS apps are closed every time.

PS: asked my co-workers with win11 - the problem persists almost on every machine with win11. Weird that Microsoft doesn't fix it. It's very annoying.

    Glad I'm not the only one facing this issue. After many weeks digging around, I found a solution that worked for a month and then it started happening again.

    The previous solution was to simply disable the "Instant Hotspot" in PhoneLink. Worked for a month, then yesterday it came back again. Not sure what I can do as I use PhoneLink quite often.

    The worst about his is that it doesn't happen on Windows 10 at all. Windows 11 is pretty garbage, full of unnecessary bugs and issues.

    Agreed. Another thing that started to happen and make me crazy - is sometimes my Start menu layout reset to default. For example - I arrange icons in Start menu some way, add programs to it, combine in folders etc. And it lasts for some random time, and then - just resets to default state... Why it is happening? Where are these settings stored? Is there any way to protect it? Nobody knows... Sad...

    Glad I found this thread. For me, the powershell fix worked for about half a day. Now testing disabling Phone Link, which seems to work actually... I'll keep you posted!
