Hi Chen, Ken,

Thanks for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

If your solution gets uninstalled automatically after using the pac pcf push command, try the following:

1. Use --no-uninstall: Run the command with the flag: pac pcf push --no-uninstall This prevents the automatic uninstall of the previous solution.
2. Check solution state: Ensure the solution is unmanaged. Managed solutions may get uninstalled during the push process.
3. Manual import workaround: If uninstall still happens, manually re-import the solution via the Maker Portal as a temporary solution.

This should help you avoid the uninstall issue after pushing.
