Windows 10: Microsoft Photos Stopped working after 23H2 update.

Hi, for some reason my photos app stopped working, it starts and closes instantly without giving me an error msg. I had a similar thing happen with Unity Hub after the windows update, though that one gave me an error msg, and a reinstall fixed it. But with the photos app, I didn’t have such luck. The only error i found in the event viewer was this one. Faulting application name: Photos.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x67105e8fFaulting module name: Microsoft.UI.Xaml.dll, version: 3.1.5.0, time stamp: 0xc7b15

Photos / Edit Stopped Working

This seems to be a hiccup with the application's software. What you can try is to do the following steps which will reset the internal state of the Photo app:

• Press Windows button + R.
• Type: %appdata%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
• Delete all the contents of that folder
