Describe the bug

When I try to start a WinUI 3 app by elevating it with program code, it fails to start with a 0xc0000142 error under some conditions.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Log in to Windows as a non-administrator.
2. Create an app that elevates itself and launches when the “elevate” button is clicked. (＜WindowsAppSDKSelfContained＞true＜/WindowsAppSDKSelfContained＞)
3. [OK] Double-click exe to launch the app: “elevate” button works well.
4. Distribute the apps in Microsoft Store.
5. Install the app from Microsoft Store.
6. [NG] Launch the app from the Start menu: “elevate” button try to launch elevated instance, but failed.

Sample program in GitHub:

Expected behavior

Elevation works.

Additional context

OK patterns

• .exe double click
• .exe right click -> run as admin
• side loading
• Install and launch from Microsoft Store as an administrator

NG patterns

• Install and launch from Microsoft Store as a non-admin user
• (But, once elevated as an administrator, the elevation is available to non-administrator users.)
• Run from Visual Studio
