This app can't run on your PC

My PC keeps giving me a message that says, "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for this PC check with software developer." I disregarded it the first time and just closed it but it keeps coming back. I've looked for solutions everywhere and none of them work. I feel like I've been having problems all the time ever since I upgraded to windows 11. I don't know what to try anymore to get rid of this.

    I Tried a lot of things too, but I noticed my error happens when I am on chrome or searching through internet, specially when I am on FaceBook with chrome.

    I still have to try to remove chrome and reinstall it. But I doubt that would help either. Yes I got mine error thanks to an update of windows as well. So my biggest worries its microsoft windows it self and we probably have to wait they fix the issue.

    I was able to get a copy of the ParaMind Brainstorming Software Professional Version working by creating a new desktop and trying the various methods. It still doesn't work in the first desktop instance. I'm using Windows 11.

    Hi Stefano

    I am Juliet and it's my pleasure to help you today. :)

    When you try to run older games and software on your computer, you may receive the "This app cannot run on your PC" error. To fix it, go to the app's properties and enable Compatibility mode.

    Right-click the executable file of the app and select Properties. Open the Compatibility tab, check Run this program in compatibility mode for, and then use the drop-down menu to select a different Windows version. To save the new settings and try running the app, click Apply > OK.

    I hope it helps! Let me know the results.

    Have a nice day ahead and Stay safe always :)
