Windows 11 can't download applications directly from exe. file
Recently, I updated the Windows11 version to the latest one, which is 22000.168 co_release. After updating to this version, I found that I can't install applications directly from exe. file so guys anyone know what's going on and how could I fix this problem? 🤔

I am having a similar issue, I tried to run as Windows 7 and that didn't work. The error I receive when I try to open the file is "you need an app to run this file" and then the app store doesn't have anything to run it. It's a regular exe file. They are presets for Adobe lightroom, if that matters at all.
- RohitShelarCopper Contributorsame issue, are you solved it

- lays_5Copper Contributori have the same issue of Windows 11 can't download applications directly from exe. file i received error
- JianYuBrass ContributorNope, I didn't receive any error message while opening the exe. file. When I open the file, it shows the loading icon and nothing happens. That's what I saw everytime I tried to install the app. This situation only occur on one exe. file. The app I wanted to download is DrJava. I tried to reinstall other apps and everything is fine, only installing the DrJava app brings the issue.
