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 ...
Any updates on this? We would love to package a WPF app with MSIX and make use of this automatic updates feature.
However, enforcing updates works for the start menu only (and not for the taskbar or desktop shortcuts). This makes migrating to MSIX pretty pointless and we will stay with our custom deployment tools.
Whoever decided on the Windows team to have different update behaviors depending on where you launch the app ... I just can't believe how you can make this horrible UX decision.
