I was building a WPF application in C# and packaging it using the MSIX packager/installer. Everything was fine until I updated Visual Studio to 16.10.2. Then something strange started to happen. The code would run perfectly in Debug and Release configuration but when I installed the application from MSIX it failed to run.

There were no coding errors.

The Event Log gave this error..

Faulting application name: [app name here], version: [app version here], time stamp: 0x609308e7

Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.19041.1023, time stamp: 0x924f9cdb Exception code: 0xe0434352 Fault offset: 0x0000000000034b89 Faulting process ID: 0xf3c Faulting application start time: 0x01d7659e116b2c8c

I tried almost everything but nothing seem to fix it. Then I noticed the the 'obj' folder had become huge, so I deleted it and low and behold that fixed the problem.
