    Steps Recorder Won't Open on Windows 11


    Hello, I'm using Windows 11 and I can't get the Steps Recorder app to open. Nothing seems to happen when opening it. I've tried running as administrator and also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no luck. The only other threads I could find were years old and didn't apply to Windows 11, so I'm running into a wall here. Hoping there's something I can try to get this to work properly. Thanks,Kaleb

    :)

    Steps Recorder there... but not there

    I seemed to have been saved by a link to this fix:
    Please use regedit to rename hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windows\AppCompat - changeAppCompat to AppCompat_HOLD . Then try launching PSR again.
    Tried it and now Steps Recorder seems to be working as it should.
    But to follow up on your suggestion, I'm going to try to find and repair the corrupt files that my sfc scan found... after setting a restore point!
    Thanks for your help.

    Steps Recorder there... but not there

    Are you trying to use this? - C:\Windows\System32\psr.exe
    [Start menu, Windows accessories, Steps recorder - but often referred to as the Problem steps recorder]

    It is supposed to launch a small UI dialog and it should also be shown on the Taskbar but, from your description, this does not happen. Does anything happen at all?
