    Not installed, it shows a higher version of this appx file has already been installed on this device.

    This Bad Image problem happens with some specific apps like notepad, snipping tool, omen gaming hub. whenever i tried to open those mentioned application then a dialogue box shown like notepad.exe - bad image or snippingtool.exe - bad image and those lines above mentioned in the post.

    as the appx files are not installed, then what should i do now?

    Click the link below, on that page is a multi-installer for the Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 redistributables.

    Please Note, regardless of whether your version of Windows 10 is 32bit or 64bit, you must download and install both the x86 and x64 versions, do not try to install the ARM64 version:

    Then, restart (not shut down) your PC.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Try installing the Visual C++ UWP Desktop Runtime Package from the link below and follow the instructions they provide on how to install that, then restart your PC to apply the change.
