Windows 10: Unable to download applications

I updated to Windows 10 Version 1909 OS Build 18363.778 and now have difficulty launching both SQL Server Express and SQL Server Management Studio. I would run the .exe file and it would appear to launch by the icons showing on the task bar and running in the Task Manager, but when I click on the icons, nothing happens. I just see my desktop. The program is running, but the window does not show up. I had the dame issue with Visual Studio and that engineering team led me to this forum. I would greatly appreciate some help with this.

With thanks,

Unable to download

Is there something wrong with the server providing the download for SysTool? I'm unable to download the application using Firefox or IE.

Are there any mirrors?

Thanks.
