At least three apps are not working: Edge, Outlook, Copilot after an update. I tried Repair to reinstall Edge but it made no difference.

    Hello,

    What exact error message do you receive when you open Microsoft apps on your Windows PC after installing the latest updates?

    In the meantime, I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, as these apps are WebView2-based. Reinstalling it might resolve the issue.

    To uninstall,

    Open CMD (ADMIN)

    run these commands one by one. 

    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\1*\Installer

setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

    Reinstall

    Microsoft Edge WebView2 from this link.

    Download (Evergreen Bootstrapper)

    Once installed, restart your PC and open these applications.
