Opening file with German characters in filename gives error message

Hello.

If there's only one umlaut in a photo file.
like ü ä ö etc.
you cannot open it with XnViewer.
the error message appears:


File system error (-2147219195)

Certified on Windows 10 (current) Win 2016 and 2019

removing the character opens the photo.

Greeting Sebastian

On XnView MP, not XnView Classic?

This seems to be a known Windows issue, if you Google "File system error (-2147219195)" one of the suggested fixes might possibly be helpful...

Thanks for the advice.

I have created and distributed a Powershell script, now it works.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
