This is just a space for us to jot down some of the more obscure issues we've encountered dealing with deploying WPF apps on corporate networks.

WPF Hanging in Infinite Rendering Loop

Affects: any WPF app running on .Net Framework 4.7.x that makes use of "star" sizing in WPF grids.

Resolution:

• Downgrade to 4.6.x
• Upgrade to 4.8+
• Add the following config setting in app.config (but note that this undoes several other enhancements that have come about with the grid system in 4.7.x):

<configuration>
    <runtime>
        <AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Windows.Controls.Grid.StarDefinitionsCanExceedAvailableSpace=true" />
    </runtime>
</configuration>
