After update Manager (Desktop Edition) shortcut is not working

Hello
I use the desktop edition of Manager. I have installed from a .msi file and was working fine.
I use my Windows PC with a standard user account (not admin account) and the app was installed in “c:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Manager” folder and everything working correctly.
I could start the app from start menu (shortcut) and by double clicking a .manager file stored in other folders.

Yesterday i update Manager with the new .msix file and everythink is wrong…
When i choose to install the app the installation proccess finish without errors and the installation app ask me if i want to launch the Manager app. I choose yes and Manager startup correctly and i was able to open my files stored in the standard Manager Data folder.

After i shutdown the Manager app it was not possible to start it again.
The shortcut in startup menu is not working.
I try to find the executable to launch it myself but because is stored in "c:\Program Files\WindowsApps" folder i was not able to enter because windows asks for admin credentials … after i gave the admin credentials and tried to launch the “c:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Manager … desktop.exe” file i got an error relative to persmissions …
I choose to Uninstall the latest version and install again the previous working one and now i can’t open the files that i have open with the new version during first startup of the App.
Can you please help me.

Just try to install again, but maybe first read:

Thank you for the fast anwser.
My Windows is Windows 10 Pro, Version 22H2, OS Build 19045.4894, Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0
I Rename the .msix to zip → I extract the zip to a local folder and i run ManagerDesktop.exe
The program run an install proccess and finished with a small (switch to …) error.
I run the ManagerDesktop again from the same folder and the program starts correctly.
I doubleclick .Manager file (in other folder) and i choose manually the same .exe and the program open correctly the desired file.
The only thing not working is the windows shortcut … but is not a problem if i can startup the app through the .exe file.
Last question (and thank you very much in advance).
I will use the program like a portable program OK? When a new version come out i just overwrite the contens of the “install” folder?
Thank again…!!!
