.NET SDK 6.0.421 (x64) keeps asking to make changes to my device #40856

Describe the bug

I have Visual Studio Pro 2022 on a Win11 device. Through VS Installer, I enabled .NET SDK 6.0 as an installation item. Ever since, I keep getting UAC prompts saying that 6.0.421 (x64) wants to modify my device. Every time I allow it, it keeps recurring. Rebooting, repairing my OS installation through DISM, uninstalling the SDK, none of it solves the problem.

To Reproduce

No need for me to do anything. The UAC prompt keeps showing.

We may close this issue if:

the repro project you share with us is complex. We can't investigate custom projects, so don't point us to such, please.
if we will not be able to repro the behavior you're reporting -->

Exceptions (if any)

No exceptions

Do the following commands return anything?

reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /s reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /s

Also, when it pops up the prompt, can you dismiss the UAC prompt, then look for a file named Microsoft_.NET_SDK_6.0.421_(x64)_*.log under your %temp directory?

To avoid an overly long comment, I have attached the text files.

I don't see anything obvious under the registry keys. The UAC prompt would trigger any time the installer runs as a normal user and reaches a point where it knows it requires elevation. We'll need to figure out what is causing the install to run. Any chance you can run procmon/task mask manager to see whether you can determine who the parent process is that's launching the SDK install?

Sure, happy to! I'll report back with my findings.

I'm not very versed in ProcMon, but I think I've gathered a little data. Don't know how useful it'll be for you, but I'm happy to provide it.

Hopefully I didn't waste your time giving you rubbish data.

Do you recall which version of VS you installed, 17.5, 17.8, etc.?

sydbarrett74 commented 4 months ago

17.9 (updated recently to 17.10)
