Tanaka_Jimha Has there been any word on the progress of this item? Our company has a winforms application that is deployed as MSIX and I noticed this morning that it fails to automatically launch after the update process.  I'm testing on Windows 10 21H1

 

However, Touching the start menu button after about 20 seconds seems to bring it up.  I've enclosed the AILog.txt that shows the update was successful. I will also try to run the Feedback Hub application the next time there's an update.   Thank you for your time.
