Sorry to hear you're having the same issues. It's not great is it? I can't believe MS have managed to create a windows that actually conflicts with it's own microsoft apps!
If I hear of any progress on this, I'll let you know.

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.

2022-12-08T02:45:13+00:00 Thanks, Alice HF! I've been checking back on this thread for a couple of months and seeing no progress. I thought I would throw my 2 cents in with the hope that the more posts and upvotes this topic gets, the closer we get to an official patch that will fix this once and for all. :-/

2023-01-28T22:25:41+00:00 ... same here. Just upgraded from win 10 to win 11 on a Surface Book 2.
Uninstalling-reinstalling of 3D viewer does not help (error occurs when trying to open .stl files)
Well...well... welll! MS, what on EARTH is going on.
Thank you for taking a look at it, it is really 'not from this world' how such an error can make it into the wild. It is for..... opening a file!!???
