I’m having the same thing!

What is the version of Messenger Plus! You have installed?

Are you trying that on a Stable release or Insider release of Windows 11?

How often do you use Messenger Plus! utilities?

ranvir fixed it because trekie told the sulotion, it was the regedit fault and ranvir must tell the sulotion now

ok here it is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger

just change the MSNMessenger key to MSNMessenger-test or something

make sure Messenger isn’t running when you do that
