First and foremost, thanks for this managed sample, it was a great help to kick-start my BITS journey.
My app based on BITS-Manager and BITS-Manager itself worked great, but when I packaged my app with MSIX, things started behaving strangely. Every background copy job started from the packaged app transitions into the BG_JOB_STATE_TRANSIENT_ERROR state immediately and stays that way until the app is closed or becomes inactive/minimized. I was able to reproduce this issue with the BITS-Manager app in a packaged environment.
Using bitsadmin /list /allusers /verbose, I got this:

I tried to set the job's priority, but it didn't help. I also had a hunch that I might need to enable some capability in the MSIX manifest, but I haven't found anything. I also tried to use the BackgroundDownloader from my WPF app, but it looks like UWP only.
Is it a known behavior? Anything I can do to make it transfer bites while the packaged app is running? Thanks in advance 👍
