I am developing a maui app in VS 2022, Debug and Release will run fine when launched via VS.
However, when I go to the apps bin folder, it will not launch, I click on the .exe and nothing happens.
I tried copying the bin/release and debug folders to another Win10 machine, same issue. I published a msix and tried that route and it will not run.
How do I make it run without VS?
Event viewer gives me this error:
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Usually, compatibility causes this issue. Did you refer to Publish a .NET MAUI app for Windows and test the application as an x86 program?
The weird part is, I can run the app when launching from Visual Studio, but on the same machine, running the actually .exe directly does not work.
For further investigation, could you please provide the following information?- What version of MAUI are you using?
Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

Is it possible that Visual Studio is running with elevated permissions? When executing the application outside of Visual Studio, try running it As Administrator.
I have tried that as well, no difference.
