Are you observing this issue as standard user?
Does it happen for one specific msix file or for all of them?
From what you shared, I believe this is a permission error.
You need to delete all settings in %AppData%\org.localsend\localsend_app and %AppData%\org.localsend\ - reboot PC and start your APP from MSIX/Zip version

Yes, Microsoft account user.

All msix file.

 
 
Try login with administrator account or run the Command prompt as administrator and then type the following command:

sfc /scannow

Press enter and let it runs and see what the result is.
PS C:\Users\Administrator> sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
Try run the following commands:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Meanwhile, open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.

Are you facing this issue with .exe files too?
I did report it.
The exe file working normally.
Thank you for your help.
Glad you reported it.
Have you run the above commands?
If yes, what was the result?
Are you facing the same issue if you boot into Clean Boot?

Haven't tried Clean boot yet.
Thank you for the update, please share the result of Clean Boot.
Note, when you run Clean Boot, it keep your files and data and just disable services and you may enable them later.
Unfortunately, it's not working. The msix file still cannot be opened after clean boot.
If possible, try create a new user and login with the new user and see if it works?
New MSIX install package has been created, please download it from
https://github.com/localsend/localsend/releases/download/v1.10.0/LocalSend-1.10.0-windows-x86-64.msi... maybe this will solve your problem.
I already did. But it can be open normally under Administrator User.
