Access Denied to start any process (WinUI 3)

[Lazie]

I can't launch any app because the code below shows this error: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: 'Access Denied'

var process = Process.Start(@"C:\foo.exe");

Hello Lazie,

Thank you for sharing a screenshot, it looks like you're trying to launch a torrent application from your application and that is when you get the error. Unfortunately, this is unrelated to Telerik UI for WinUI so there isn't much we can assist with.

You can find WinUI forums in the Microsoft help site here Microsoft Q&A.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
But I've already tested it with countless other applications, such as winword, mspaint, calc, notepad etc, and they all get the same error message.
Even opening Visual Studio with administrator privileges this error message appears.
I don't know if it's something in Visual Studio (I'm using the latest preview version) or if it could be something in WinUI 3 itself.
Anyway thanks for your attention.

Hi Lazie,

Correct it is a VS or WinUI3 problem. Since the issue isn't related to Telerik's UI for WinUI components, this Telerik UI for WinUI forum isn't a place where you can find answers. I still didn't want your question going unanswered, so I replied to provide you a link where you can ask for help with WinUI or Visual Studio problems.

If you do find a solution and want to share it with the rest of the Telerik community, feel free to come back here and post a link to your other forum thread.

Good luck!
