Microsoft’s WinAppSDK Update Snafu: When Windows Updates Give You the Blues
Microsoft has pulled the buggy WinAppSDK 1.6.2 update after it caused havoc for Windows 10 users trying to update or uninstall apps like Microsoft Teams. The issue leaves users with a cryptic “Something happened on our end” error, proving once again that tech support is just modern-day hieroglyphics!
