After spending an hour on the phone with Microsoft, I have a solution.

If I'm NOT connected to the LAN, it starts but then the database connection is not there and my program has heavy database usage! It will also launch from VS (I'm using VS2015) just fine. The step of launching from the user profile appdata folder is very useful! Yes it's not easy for just anyone and not a 'fix', but it does work! Been trying to figure this out since last Friday! I found
#LONELY SCREEN NOT WORKING IN INTRANET UPDATE#
I have not identified the update that solves the problem.įinally! Someone who is going through the same thing I am. The problem is solved after updating to the latest patch you can find via Check for Updates. What is the right way to go if I don't want to purchase a CodeSigning Cert for an internal app distributed in internal LAN? And is there a way to go back to the Version 1709īehaviour (that is SmartScreen popping up once automatically after install)?

Once I've done that, the desktop icon can also launch the app by double-click withoutīut locating the app is not a skill every user has and it's quite a lot of trouble. If I go to %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Apps\blah\blah and find the *.exe then launch it myself, the SmartScreen pops up normally and I can give the run instruction. It just went silence after install, update or double clicking the desktop icon. However since 1803, the SmartScreen window no longer pops up after upgrade or install, hence app is not launched either. Only the first time after update or install, a SmartScreen window will popup up asking permission to run.

The app is published to a UNC location and people can install it and it will update automatically. I am a developer for a company internal app.
