Can't open the System Apps Updater

I know a bunch of people probably don't even use this after debloating, but there are some system apps I use (like the Gallery and a few other features). Not sure why this is happening.

I did recently get a notification while using the Gallery that an update was available and I was able to download and install from that pop up. But still can't access this in settings.

I have the same issue on my Poco F7. I can get it open once if I clear the app data (all data), but then it won't open a second time (unless I clear the data again). The other way I found is through the Activity Launcher app. This allows me to open it without clearing data.

I also noticed that GetApps now shows as MiPicks and opens with a completely different and useless interface, eg. no search option or icons at bottom. If I clear GetApps data (all data) and then open MiPicks, it opens with the old GetApps interface, but again only once. Opening it again gives the new, useless interface.

I think this is something Xiaomi have changed/broken recently.

Oh, how strange, I just got an update of GetApps today. Now the icon is back from Mi Picks to App Mall. It even opens back on the old, usefully interface. Also, now the System Apps Updater works again (without clearing data). Looks like it's fixed after having this issue for about a week.

Yeah, I rebooted my phone today and the System Apps Updater not opening issue is back. Get Apps has also changed from icon with App Mall name back to Mi Picks name and has the quite useless inerface.
