Developer Mode must be enabled. This ensures that the app can be run without requiring admin permissions (for example, a child or less-privileged account can run instead of needing admin each time). To enable Windows Developer Mode:
- Open Windows Settings
- Go to Privacy & security → For developers
- Turn on Developer Mode
If Developer Mode is not enabled, the launcher will not start.
