I have a WPF app that is deployed using ClickOnce.
The program works as intended but on some(on most of the enterprise computers used) computers it won't become "Active" as in, it seems to start and creates its form but doesn't pop-up on the taskbar until clicked on after I minimize my active windows Chrome, Excel, File Explorer, etc. Also doesn't seem to show up on task manager until the click.
When I run it from my Visual Studio (in both DEBUG and Release mode) it works fine and no matter how many windows I open before it starts it comes to the foreground and works fine. Also works fine on some of our developer's computers.
But when other people run it, it doesn't come to the front no matter how long they wait.
I even tried putting this.Activate(); on the code-behind of the main window that is in the "View" folder.
I'm using WPF with MVVM architecture and the handler code for this main window is in my "ViewModel" folder.
I don't know why it doesn't work, but it might be something with the DevExpress DLL's us developers use and because the test users don't have it.

2020-08-17T07:07:29.567+00:00 I have not used DevExpressMvvm
I usedxmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core"to use a DXWindow andxmlns:dxg="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/grid"for grid control on my View (XAML) and I used
using DevExpress.Data.ODataLinq.Helpers;in my ViewModel besides that I haven't used much DevExpress if any.As for the details on PC's that can't run it. The end user's computers had these problems but when I went and ran it, It ran normally albeit a little slow because of the database connections it has, but that's beside the problem. I think it didn't run on their 1st try and they didn't try to run it a second time.
I was hoping there were some known issues like this that you could tell me how to solve since sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And I don't understand why or how.
