Failed to activate Windows app 'MicrosoftEdge' from app family 'Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_***********' Ranorex.AppLaunch

Edge was added to the whitelist but the test fails due to this error.
Can someone help me?

Hello!

I'm currently in the upgrade process (10.5 to 10.6)
I can reproduce it.
But without a solution.

Test 1:
  • Create new solution: Sample - Ranorex - AUT with Calc.exe
  • Ranorex 10.5.3 - Windows 10: Failed to activate Windows app 'App' from app family 'Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_****'.
    Ranorex.AppLauncher.exe failed to activate the app. Exitcode: 234188024
Test 2:
  • Create new solution: Sample - Ranorex - AUT with Calc.exe
  • Ranorex 10.6.1 - Windows 11: All fine.
I hope it helps a little and you will find a solution.
