Working on it
Start update-process by clicking on application taskbar button or desktop shortcut
Currently MSIX deployed desktop application (eg. Winforms or WPF) are automatically updated only when app is launched by Start menu item. When user launch app by clicking on app taskbar button or on ...
I'm using MSIX to update a .NET Core WPF application. In that context, this behaviour is very strange and took a long while to try to figure out what's going wrong. Launching the app from a shortcut or from the Start Menu should all result in the exact same update behaviour.
Especially when adding the following line to the .appinstaller file:
<OnLaunch HoursBetweenUpdateChecks="0" ShowPrompt="true" UpdateBlocksActivation="true"/>
Does anyone have a decent workaround? Manually checking versions and triggering update processes kind of defeats the purpose of the whole mechanism, I would think.
