Hi kjk0807
Clear Cache: Clear the browser cache if you are using Power Apps in a web browser, or clear the cache for the Power Apps app if you're using it on a device.
Different Browser/Device: Attempt to open the app in a different web browser or on a different device to see if the issue persists.
Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the correct permissions to access the app and that it has not been shared with restrictions that could be preventing you from opening it.
Power Apps Service Status: Check the Power Apps Service status to see if there's an ongoing issue with the Power Apps platform.
App Sharing Issues: If the app was shared with you, verify with the owner that the app is still shared and that no changes were made to sharing settings that could affect access.
Corrupted App: It’s possible the app or a component within the app has become corrupted. You might need to recreate the app or contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
