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.

    Make sure to uninstall the old app first!

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

    Nope.

    Looks like the last big update, 22H2, may have broken some permissions and links in various apps and programs.

    Simply reinstalling them resolves this issue for most people.
