[BUG] UI Access is not supported for Desktop AppX processes #486

Project MSIX SDK

Describe the bug Cant use .MSIX packaging for an app that uses UIAccess. This has been tested with both WPF Desktop Bridge and WinUI3 Desktop apps using .Msix. When launching the app an error "the request is not supported" pops up, and the app fails to launch.

The following error is observed in event viewer: 0x80070032: Cannot create the process for package fd6e7c45-f095-4b47-a46a-71657af65eae_1.0.0.0_x64__0dbdf1n3n58kt because UI Access is not supported for Desktop AppX processes. [LaunchProcess]

To Reproduce Install any .msix app with UIaccess = True Error Occurs

Expected behavior It works

Platform Windows 11 64bit Build: 22489.1000

Additional context This is a major problem as it prevents apps that require UIaccess = True from using .MSIX packaging, commonly assistive technologies apps.
