MAUI apps crash on launch on Windows after Visual Studio update - code 2147942405 (0x80070005)

[holecekp]

Description

All apps stopped working on Windows after updating Visual Studio to the version 17.4.3 (which probably also updated MAUI). When I press F5, any app will not run and the following error message is displayed in the Output windows:

The program '[8104] MauiBugCrashOnLaunchOnWindows.exe' has exited with code 2147942405 (0x80070005).

The usual steps such as deleting bin and obj folders do not help. This affects all projects. Even an empty project created by Visual Studio template does not run.

Everything worked well with the previous version of VS/MAUI (I think it was MAUI 7.0.49 and VS 17.4.2).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a File > New .NET MAUI App
2. Run it on Windows (F5)
3. The app will not run and error message is displayed in the Output window

... I can see that the issue cannot be saved without a link to a repro project. Because any project can be used to reproduce the issue I have added a link to a repro project for another issue to save time. This bug can be reproduced on it but as I have said before, it crashes even on an blank new project.

In debug mode, they start for me, but in release mode, I also get an error

[MaksimAdamenko]

And I also noticed that the apk for android has become about 3MB more

[Dayjay]

I can confirm this problem for MAUI Blazor Hybrid as well. Doesn't matter for me if its in Release or Debug mode.

[espenrl]

Could be one of these

https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/3137

[Dayjay]

Could be one of these microsoft/WindowsAppSDK#3228

Can confirm, running the app once as admin works.

[MagicAndre1981]

Windows 10 or Windows 11? In my Win11 22621 VM I don't have the issue.

[Dayjay]

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Build 19045.2364

[espenrl]

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Build 19045.2364

[dajbych]

I have the same problem. The app deployment worked normally in VS 17.4.2.

Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.2364

[MagicAndre1981]

ok, so this looks like a Windows 10 Bug in combination with WinApp SDK 1.2.x which will be fixed in 2023

The fix in Windows 10 OS is anticipated to be serviced on 3rd Tuesday of Jan 2023 as an OnDemand update patch and on 2nd Tuesday of Feb 2023 in an Auto update security patch.

[bcaceiro]

I cannot understand how this is passed. So, now no one can build Windows apps until 2023? The fix is to what: rollback VS version?

[lucianparvu]

Same Problem here too !

[imedia-peter]

Rollback VS version did not work for me, instead it led to a broken MAUI installation.

[Dayjay]

What worked for me: Build your app in any mode. It will crash on startup as expected.

Now go to the windows start menu, right click the app you just build: More => Run as Admin.

The app will start and so will every other MAUI app from now on even when started within Visual Studio.

[imedia-peter]

Yes, that worked for me too. I was overlooking this solution because I am still in the process of developing the MAUI app in Visual Studio. Thanks!

[jpreece6]

My solution was to manually install the Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.2 redist

[mattleibow]

Current workaround is to run the app once as admin. Or manually installing the Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime 1.2 redist.

Fix is coming automatically on Win 10 in Feb 2023:

This is a known issue in the Windows 10 OS and not an issue with the WinAppSDK. The fix in Windows 10 OS is anticipated to be serviced on 3rd Tuesday of Jan 2023 as an OnDemand update patch and on 2nd Tuesday of Feb 2023 in an Auto update security patch.

[mattleibow]

@jpreece6 did you install the runtime from here? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads#windows-app-sdk-12

This issue will be closed automatically in 7 days if we do not hear back from you by then - please feel free to re-open it if you come back to this issue after that time.

[jpreece6]

@jpreece6 did you install the runtime from here? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads#windows-app-sdk-12

Yep, runtime version 1.2.1.2.221116.1

[luizparente]

I had this issue too, and running the app once as an admin didn't fix it. In fact, I was unable to even run the app as admin.

I just installed Visual Studio Community 2022 today, running the latest version.

Edition: Windows 10 Home Version: 22H2 OS build: 19045.2251 Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz

[mattleibow]

@luizparente are you sure it is the same issue? Running as admin should fix it. Can you check your event log (EventViewer) and see whatthe app crash error is?

[jnery]

I have very similar OS version as luiz. MAUI apps had been working for me until I upgraded to Visual Studio v17.4.3. A vanilla MAUI app from project template does not run and debug output window has this

The program '[21360] MauiApp1.exe' has exited with code 2147942405 (0x80070005).

Running VS as admin does not resolve the issue. Is there a way to continue MAUI development without undoing this VS upgrade?

Correction run MAUI app as admin worked. I missed that you have to choose the app that got deployed and run that (instead of thru VS).

[luizparente]

@mattleibow positive.

Here is what I did:

1. Installed VS2022 Community today (version info below);
2. Created a brand new MAUI app;
3. Tried running the app by pressing F5;
4. Got an error, was asked to turn on Developer Mode on Windows;
5. Turned on Developer Mode on Windows;
6. Back to VS, pressed F5 again to run;
7. The debugger runs, tries to start the app; and
8. Fails. The UI is never shown. The builder logs the error below.

The program '[9276] SimpleMauiApp.exe' has exited with code 2147942405 (0x80070005).

Seems to be an issue with an unregistered class in InteropServices... Or something along those lines.

When I try to run the generated .exe as admin, the Event Viewer logs an error with source on .NET Runtime:

Below my VS instance info:

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 Version 17.4.3 VisualStudio.17.Release/17.4.3+33205.214 Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.8.04084 Installed Version: Community

[holecekp]

Running the app as admin first solved the problem for me (Windows 10, 21H2).

[xuanait]

Any one have solution for this BIG HEADAGE? I've the same trouble like this. And I've check that the new version can starting app OK if you are using .NET6 and It's fails if .NET7.

[luizparente]

Update: I recreated the app targeting.NET 6, and it works just fine. Can even run via VS.

[jtinguely]

Same Problem here too!

[mike3sullivan]

I ran Visual Studio as admin, then installed the redistributable from here, and my Windows 10 installation {with .NET 7 target) is now working. @jpreece6 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads#windows-app-sdk-12

[jtinguely]

Thank you so much, that worked!
