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.

    I've got the same issue, with windows 11 now unable to open any GLB/GLTF files in 3d viewer, Paint 3d and 3d Builder. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted and still getting the same issue.

    Anyone got any further fixes, before I try and revert to Win 10?

    As above, remove/uninstall 3D viewer and 3D builder, then reinstall.

    All will be fixed...

    I have a similar problem , from my investigations it seems like it is related to folders that sync with OneDrive.
