Windows 11 - "No such interface supported" error when opening an xml file to edit - should open in Code Writer.

I have just installed the latest Windows 11 patch and now my xml files show with a PDF image next to them. The application setting is set to automatically open with Code Writer so the image should be the Code Writer image not PDF. When I try to open it I get the error message "No such interface supported". I can open Code Writer and then open the file from within Code Writer.

How can I fix this please. I am not very computer literate, so a step by step solution would be appreciated.

    As I already said in my post. I've already uninstalled and re-installed the apps. Then restarted etc.

    It Still happens.

    And already done the "open with" selection....

    Still happens.

    I tried re-installing Paint3d but it still does not work. I hope a future patch resolves this

    I notice that after updating to 22H2, I cannot open STL and PLY files with 3D Builder, 3D Viewer and so on from Explorer. But when I open a command prompt window and type the filenames with full path, I can open them with no problem. So I suspect this is a Explorer problem.

    Have you tried to uninstall the app and reinstall?

    Seams to be the only fix for most apps right now.
