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.

        Hi, I can't open one specific .exe file

        that same file working fine in another computer

        it's a launcher for a game, but there is no error code or anything.

        Since it's not opening at all on this computer, i thought the problem might be similar? Thanks

      Nope, 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.

        Also, make sure you have installed Java Runtime Environment with 1.5 or above.
