Bug: Opening file picker as admin will cause crash (WinAppSdk issue) #11440
Comments
This is actually an issue in WinAppSdk where trying to open the file picker as admin will cause a crash. They have some workarounds we can try. |
can you explain those workarounds? |
i wanna work on this issue |
This is a known issue tracked at #10422. Please don't add irrelevant comments or report other bugs in other issues. |
I didn't know that core functionality is irrelevant, all right then. |
@carlosvsilva Fully agree, this is a separate issue. It's a little challenging with WinAppSdk but we should at least display a prompt so that the user knows why it's not working. |
@yaira2 Thank you, Sir. I'm working on that . If you could give me some advice on where to begin, I'd appreciate that. |
It looks like they documented a workaround on MSDN a year ago. For more info:

A potential fix is in the PR. |
This issue will be resolved in the next release. |
Description
When Files is run as administrator, the app crashes when clicking on the Browse button to change a folder icon. This happens regardless of whether the folder needs admin privileges to be edited, and doesn't happen when Files isn't run as administrator.
