Minecraft UWP save failure on Windows 11 Insider due to sandbox regression
I am experiencing an issue where Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock) does not save data correctly on Windows 11 Insider builds (Canary, Dev, and Beta). After extensive troubleshooting, the problem appears to be caused by a UWP sandbox initialization regression in these Insider channels. Summary of the issue: Minecraft creates a fallback folder at: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock This folder should never exist for the UWP version of Minecraft. The correct UWP save locations remain unused: LocalState SystemAppData\wgs SystemAppData\Helium The Helium folder stays empty and the wgs folder is never created. Marketplace and cloud save features fail or behave inconsistently. What has been ruled out: File system permissions (ACLs verified and correct) Incorrect launcher (Start Menu points to the correct UWP AppX entry) Corrupted Minecraft installation (package re-registered successfully) Microsoft Store or Gaming Services issues User profile corruption Missing or incorrect folder structure AppX registration issues System file corruption (DISM and SFC clean) Reinstalling Minecraft or Gaming Services Reinstalling Windows using Insider ISOs (Dev, Beta, Canary) Key findings: The Minecraft UWP package installs correctly. The launcher is correct. All ACLs are correct. AppX re-registration succeeds. Despite this, the UWP sandbox never initializes, so Minecraft cannot access its restricted storage. As a result, Windows forces Minecraft into a Win32-style fallback mode, creating the Roaming folder. Microsoft Support Response: Microsoft Support confirmed that this behavior matches a known limitation or regression affecting UWP sandbox initialization on Windows 11 Insider builds (Canary, Dev, and Beta). They stated that there is currently no supported workaround on affected builds and recommended either filing a report here or installing the Windows 11 Stable build. Conclusion: This appears to be a UWP runtime regression in current Windows 11 Insider builds that prevents Minecraft (and potentially other UWP apps) from initializing their sandbox correctly. The issue persists across clean installs and multiple Insider channels. A fix would require changes to the UWP/AppModel runtime in Insider builds. (I am about to reset my entire PC for a 3rd time, this time with the Windows 11 Stable build. Fingers crossed it fixes this issue.)
Incident critique : Edge Sync “Uninitialized”, appareils disparus, identité WAM/MSAL corrompue
Bonjour, Je rencontre un incident critique affectant directement mon identité Microsoft (MSA). Il ne s’agit pas d’un problème local mais d’un dysfonctionnement côté serveur. Donc entre autres Microsoft Edge ne se synchronise plus, mes appareils n'apparaissent plus sur mon compte (pour la localisation par exemple) et d'autres problèmes de synchronisations (presse papier entre mes appareils ne fonctionne plus...) Voici les éléments techniques constatés : - Le conteneur Edge Sync de mon compte est en état “Uninitialized”. - Tous mes appareils ont disparu de mon compte Microsoft (Device Registration cassé). - Les services d’identité WAM / MSAL / OneAuth ne se réinitialisent plus correctement. - Impossible de créer de nouveaux passkeys ou d’utiliser les services dépendants de l’identité cloud. On dirait que ça nécessite une intervention côté serveur : réinitialisation des identités WAM/MSAL, du conteneur Edge Sync et du Device Registration. Je reste à l'écoute de toute aide en vous remerciant par avance. PS : Information complémentaire : Réinstallations propres de Windows 11 (avec d'abord un compte local → compte MS, et une configuration directe du compte MS). dsregcmd /leave et /join. Effacement du TPM. Mise à jour du chipset/BIOS/Windows vers les dernières versions. Suppression manuelle de l'appareil dans le portail (impossible il réapparait !). Connexion et déconnexion de mon compte Microsoft, passage à un compte local puis retour au compte MS, etc. Le problème de synchronisation de Edge est apparu à 99% suite à un démarrage en mode sans échec et le lancement de EDGE ! Le problème s'est propagé après sur tous mes PC et même sur une installation "fraiche" A la base mon pc apparaissait sur mon compte et je pouvais le localiser en ligne... le problème est apparu après plusieurs formatage/installations successifs ! J'ai formaté parce que j'avais deux soucis toujours pas résolus (même plusieurs après formatage) : 1- Mes applications au démarrage mettent beaucoup de temps à démarrer après l'ouverture de ma session sauf si je lance le gestionnaire des tahces (!!!!) et la tout se lance en qlq secondes 2- Problème, c'est que j'ai deux clés de registres qui réapparaissent à l'adresse Ordinateur\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU et ça bloque les MAJ si je supprime les clés du registre elles reviennent au démarrage !
To the security / permission developers
Please refrain from working on any and all software for the rest of your lives. Get a job shoveling dirt. There is no reason as a single user with admin rights, should be denied from accessing / modifying any files or folder on my PC without having to jump through a thousand hoops. Even after granting ownership, I'm still getting screwed. And by the countless forums I see about other people experiencing the same issue, there's still no light at the end of the tunnel. So, for the love of god, just stop what you are doing before it gets worse.Paint 3D
Hi, when I used win 10 I used Paint 3D, which was really useful for the work I do. Obviously this has now gone and the Win 11 version doesn't have the same features or tools. I specifically want to be able to add my own "stickers" from my graphics and position within the projects I work on. Any advice or suggestions for apps that have this facility please. Many thanksAll Windows Troubleshooters will not open
Hi........ HP Laptop 15-dy2048ca (2L7J7UA) Windows 11 Home 25H2 OS Build 26200.8117 Intel® Core™ i5 processor Installed RAM 8.00 Gb First time here in a long time. Anyways, my problem is that none of the Window Troubleshooters will open or run. When I click the "Run" button I get two quick brief flashes from the touchpad cursor, but nothing happens. The original reason I had to use the troubleshooters is that I had trouble getting update KB5086672 -26200.8117 to install. But I was able to get the update to install after I ran an In-place Upgrade. I've tried a lot of suggested solutions, but nothing. as of yet. has brought the troubleshooters back to life. So far., in almost two days I have tried the following suggested solutions: Check Path for Temp Folder Restart Cryptographic Service Run SFC and DISM Scan Run Disk Cleanup Check Group Policy Try to run Troubleshooters in Clean Boot State Enable or Restart Required Services Flush the DNS Cache and Reset the Winsock Catalog Disable Third-Party Security Software and Firewalls Rename the Catroot2 and SoftwareDistribution Folders Modify TEMP and TMP Environment Variables Enable Troubleshooters in Group Policy Editor Performed an In-place Upgrade. Used a System Restore Point. Surely there must be a solution to this that works. Isn't there a download or a program where I can wipe out / delete the whole troublesome troubleshooters section and replace it with a troubleshoot section that works?
