Standard Microsoft....

if you make the error friendly you dont have to fix it - Microsoft focus groups prime finding

Your firewall's blocking it, isn't it

@kamen Microsoft’s ineptitude is blocking it. 😁

While you’re there, check out the app I just put there (passed cert this afternoon!)

OfflineLocker :)

@AlgoRythm Just out of curiosity Do you need the "Use all system resources" permission? Kinda raises a red flag when applied to an offline password manager.

@mrgadget I don’t. My app doesn’t need any permission.

It’s built using WinUI 3, which requires runFullTrust by default and won’t compile without it :(

Same thing with electron apps.

It’s because these apps don’t conform to the UWP-style app sandbox, and instead run as regular desktop apps. Which is strange to me, because WinUI 3 is literally built on the Windows App SDK.

@mrgadget see, this is why i dont let microsoft know it's microsoft. The decision i made as a kid to start drastically modifying windows OSes because the new version of mspaint didnt let me make custom brush/eraser sizes with + or - keys, continues being proven as extremely valid.

My windows only knows the info i give it... massively complex registry modifications and i get to update my sandbox-esq protocols for windows services a few times a year... but posts like this remind me how well worth it my troubles are.

@awesomeest Ctrl + "Numpad Plus" and Ctrl + "Numpad Minus" does change brush/eraser size

@Pogromist that's not the point... it used to be just + or - and go to any size. When it changed it annoyed me, along with other changes that, alone, wouldn't be enough of a justification for me to play frankenstein with Windows.

@Pogromist side thought... how old r u even? Cuz i didnt mention what year or what version of windows so you may be thinking of something that totally doesnt apply

@awesomeest latest windows 11, i tried jspaint.app and it's just + and - as you said

@Pogromist umm im talking about mspaint.exe ...youre basically telling me that DOS rpgs still work on current windows cuz u found an emulator, while leaving out the emulator part. I dont think you understand my point at all.

Also, i have no clue why you'd see jspaint as at all relevant when the rationale i gave was based on learning/modding the OS back when that feature got canned... jspaint absolutely didnt exist then so unless you assume me, and everyone, has functional time machines, it makes no sense.

@Pogromist i wish i could ++ my last comment that you totally ignored while proving the abundant accuracy of. I honestly dont know how you could get much more totally irrelevant while still mentioning windows OS and "paint"...

Windooooowsss baaaaaaaad 🧟
