…0.12 Three compounding issues prevented PassKey from launching on installed systems: 1. STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH (v1.0.9/v1.0.10): Windows App Runtime 1.8.260101001 has a compatibility bug with Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200+). Fixed by upgrading to Windows App Runtime 1.8.260416003 (released 2026-04-21). 2. ".NET must be installed" (v1.0.10/v1.0.11): The bundled dotnet-runtime installer was failing silently on machines with an existing .NET 8/9 installation (the DotNet10Installed check returned a false positive, skipping the installer). Fixed by switching PassKey.Desktop back to self-contained publishing — the .NET runtime is now bundled in the application folder, no external installer needed. 3. Microsoft.UI.Xaml.dll is NOT bundled (WindowsAppSDKSelfContained is not set), so HVCI/Code Integrity never rejects it. Bootstrap.Initialize() loads it from the system-installed Windows App Runtime at runtime. Verified working on: Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200) — both bare metal and VirtualBox.

The .NET runtime is now bundled in the application folder — no external.NET 10installer needed. Thedotnet-runtime-10.0.7-win-x64.exehas been removed from the installer entirely.Microsoft.UI.Xaml.dllis still not bundled (WindowsAppSDKSelfContainedis not set). It is loaded from the system-installed Windows App Runtime viaBootstrap.Initialize(), so Windows Code Integrity always accepts it.Test plan
