Hi Mo_Velayati,

Does your CI/CD pipeline also install the app on users' machines, and how does it do so? Or is the installation driven by the end user. I'm trying to understand the specific scenario in which the app launch is delayed.

We distribute the .msix and the .cert manually. We put the files on a shared drive and end users install it from there.
The interesting thing is that no matter where we install the .msix from, the issue still remains. And it only happens to the Developers who have access to the source code and can trigger the pipelines, not the end users. Even if the developers download the files directly from the pipeline drop location, they still see the issue.

Best,
Mo

  Are you able to file a feedback item on the affect devices so we can get more information to investigate? Meanwhile you can also look for more information in the event logs.
