Cannot override notification app logo for Windows 10/11 VSTO app

Outlook add-in VSTO project cannot override App logo when sending local notification, ends up without text or logo when using .AddAppLogoOverride()

private void CallNotification()
        {
            CreateToastNotification("This is test header", "First line of notification", "...second line...");
        }

public void CreateToastNotification(string title, string message, string message2)
        {
            ToastContent content = new ToastContentBuilder()
                .AddText(title)
                .AddText(message)
                .AddText(message2)
                .AddAppLogoOverride(new Uri("/component/logo.png", UriKind.Relative), ToastGenericAppLogoCrop.Circle)
                .AddAttributionText("My notification service")
                .AddButton(new ToastButton()
                    .SetContent("Open Google")
                    .AddArgument("url", "https://google.com"))
                .AddButton(new ToastButton()
                    .SetContent("Dismiss")
                .AddArgument("dismiss", "dismiss"))
                .SetToastDuration(ToastDuration.Long)
                .GetToastContent();

            // Creates the notification
            ToastNotification notification = new ToastNotification(content.GetXml());

            //set expiration poilicies
            notification.ExpirationTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(120);

            //add handlers
            notification.Activated += ToastNotificationCallback_Activated;
            notification.Dismissed += Notification_Dismissed;
            notification.Failed += Notification_Failed;

            //Adds toast notification to list to persist toast
            toastNotificationList.Add(notification);

            //Sends the notification
            //do not forget to add APPID to CreateToastNotifier()
            //https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32214716/showing-a-windows-10-toast-notification
            ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier("MyAppID").Show(notification);
        }

My logo.png exists and is copied to output dir

logo.png is copied to output directorydirectory view to logo.png

And result is generic notification without passed text or icon

notification without text and logo

When I comment .AddAppLogoOverride() shows text, but without logo.

Notification without logo but with text

MSFT docs

Any idea what could be wrong? Maybe Uri?

Edit: Following works only for first notification, if app sends notification again there is same result as previously (no icon but with text). Still looking for help with this, thanks.

Ok, it was problem with Uri. This line works:

.AddAppLogoOverride(new Uri("file:///"+Path.GetFullPath(@"component\logo.png"), UriKind.Absolute), ToastGenericAppLogoCrop.Circle)
