We remind you that PsfTooling is limited in what it can fix by the Microsoft MSIX Packaging Tool, which is used to generate the final package.  PsfTooling is estimated to improve application compatibility from roughly 30% without it to roughly 60% with it.  But this pales to using our advanced (but licensed) TMEditX which scored 82% in this year’s testing.
