ClickOnce application won't start


Only on this one Win 10 PC it doesn't work, it just won't start, no messages why, not even in the log. I've even disabled firewall and anti-virus. I've even tried copying exe file and starting it without deployment and it worked, so there are no issues with the program. What should I do next?

This is the log:

Solution

  • The problem was new Windows Defender with ClickOnce update before app start, I've just changed that it looks for an update after the app start. Defender didn't warn the user if he would like to allow the app to start, despite the picked Warn option.
