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 had the same issue opening photos - I just did a "Quick Repair" on the Microsoft Photos App and it was fine.

    EXACTLY the same issue for me with Paint3D. Such a basic elementary app but I use it consistently/daily for a specific task. Now this is driving me insane. Curious what the fix will be here?

    Have you tried to uninstall the app and reinstall?

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

    I am facing the same issue after update, to resolve it just uninstall and then re install the media player and it start working.

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