Hi,

Its a multiplayer game developed with Unity, I have added the following capabilities in Package.appxmanifest :

Internet (Client)

Internet (Client & Server)

Private Networks (Client & Server)

The user is asked to sign in by directing to the unity auth page in the browser, but the browser doesn't open at all, in the logs I see several access denied issues:

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFA235F837A (KernelBase.dll) in Game.exe: WinRT originate error - 0x80070005 : 'Access is denied.'.

Hello @SHASHANK S ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Can this error be reproduced on other devices? It is recommended to update Windows.

Thank you

Hi @Junjie Zhu - MSFT ,Yeah, same errors in other device too and I have latest version of windows.

Its works fine when built for Windows as Standalone but not for UWP.
