The "Control Panel->Region->Administrative->Change system locale...->Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" setting was the culprit. It must be disabled.

I reinstalled Windows, used privacy apps again with exactly the same settings and this time it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For me it wasn't fixed. I'll probably need to reinstall Windows to make it work again. I was hoping that I'll be able to find some less time-consuming solution, but it seems that it won't happen.

I tested it on other computer with Windows 10 and April 2018 Update installed and it works. So my conclusion is that those privacy apps broke something. One of the irreversible actions they perform is uninstalling certain Windows 10 apps. Maybe there're some dependencies there? Like "Contacts" app?

Hello, after updating Windows 10 to the newest version (April 2018 Update) MyPhoneExplorer (tested both 1.8.9 and 1.8.8 versions, portable and normal) started to crash after starting up. It briefly displays the main window and crashes.

It may have something to do with W10Privacy, O&O ShutUp10 and ...
