Windows 11 Many apps won’t open after first launch
Several apps work once then stop opening. Reinstalling apps and Windows doesn’t help. Double-clicking shows loading circle then nothing, even with admin/compatibility mode.

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with apps not opening consistently, even after reinstalling them and Windows. The fact that double-clicking the app shows a loading circle suggests that the app is attempting to launch, but something is causing it to fail.
