ClickOnce application won't start

Only on this one Win 10 PC it doesn't work, it just won't start, no messages why, not even in the log. I've even disabled firewall and anti-virus. I've even tried copying exe file and starting it without deployment and it worked, so there are no issues with the program. What should I do next?

This is the log:

If you're having difficulty starting an app deployed with ClickOnce, check your Event Viewer Application logs. Chances are some errors are being logged there. This is another question which more specifically addressed my problem, the root cause being that I needed to generate an application manifest with full security permissions granted.

If you're installing on a completely new computer with Windows 10 and .NET Framework 4.8 and it doesn't launch, you most likely need to install Visual Studio to install any old dependencies you app might need.

It's definitely not a perfect solution but at least it works.

The problem was new Windows Defender with ClickOnce update before app start, I've just changed that it looks for an update after the app start. Defender didn't warn the user if he would like to allow the app to start, despite the picked Warn option.

Don't forget to select the "This is a full trust application" option in "Properties > Security" before publish.
