I started using Zorin recently, everything is fine but I dont know why the software installer app itself bugs out. When i start the computer and run the software app its good and all , but after opening if for like for example 4 times and then opening it again after some time , the app won't open. A window will be created but there is no response.

Welcome to the Forum!
Could You post Your Hardware Specs? Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled? Does Zorin run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Terminal Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
