In a post on Microsoft’s Known Issues page for Windows 11, the company says that an expired digital certificate is rendering some users “unable to open or use certain built-in Windows apps or parts of some built-in apps.”Īffected apps include the Snipping Tool, the Accounts page of the Settings app (but only when running Windows in S mode), the Touch Keyboard, Voice Typing, the Emoji picker, the Input Method Editor, and the Tips app. If you’ve been noticing strange issues with some of Windows 11’s built-in apps and tools since the calendar rolled over to November, you’re not alone.
