GUI is non-functional on ARM systems

[willamettefour]

Description

After updating to version 11, the GUI is completely inoperable on ARM systems. When I try running AutoDarkModeApp and check Task Manager, I can see that it briefly pops up before disappearing (as is the case with the x64 version), but the GUI never opens. If I manually run AutoDarkModeSvc, I can get the program to launch, show up in the system tray, and do some minor configuration by right-clicking, but that's about it.

P.S. (this goes for both the arm64 and x64 versions) the shortcuts no longer work, as the EXEs have been moved around but the updater didn't automatically change where the shortcuts pointed to.

Hey, sorry to hear about this. Have you tried un-installing, and then installing v11 (beta) via the installer file?
If that doesnt work, we need to look into the compatibility...
What arch and type is your cpu?

Not sure where I'd get an installer for v11 since it's in beta, but directly downloading and extracting the package from here resulted in the same behavior. CPU is a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 (arm64).

That's a good point and concern, thank you.

The shortcuts no longer working is to be expected, and we need to come up with a solution when we push 11 to stable (most likely means not allowing in-place upgrades, or alternatively having a wrapper appliation for the App

It's a bit concerning that the App doesn't run on ARM, because it's published with all arm flags enabled.

The actual error seems to be

Description: A .NET application failed.
Application: AutoDarkModeApp.exe

There exists an issue but it is supposed to be resolved

11.0.0.4 seems to have fixed the issue

However, when I tried updating from v10 instead of running it from zip, the updater replaces itself with a version that requires admin privileges, which causes the update to fail because the account I normally use is a standard account. It's fairly easy to get around, but I found it annoying and wasn't sure if that was expected behavior.
