These are released programs, .exe files, and now have nothing to do with Visual Studio. Its Norton is causing the problem

and you’ve run Norton LiveUpdate + Restart (not Shut down) machine?

I wrote them on VS2022, complied them on VS2022 and run them on my computer. I could send you the cs files or .exe files
Not sure what your asking with" Norton LiveUpdate + Restart". I shutdown my computer each night

8

maybe, you have Fast Startup enabled? Restart bypasses Fast Startup…as you know.
have you tried Smart Firewall → Restore default settings?

are you always Public network?

if you want…send .exe to me via direct message

Caveat: I’m W11 23H2

Edit:
Community message editor does not upload .exe

9

What is " Fast Startup " and how do I determine if I have it enabled.
How do I “send .exe to me via direct message”

Please try running Norton LiveUpdate + Restart (not Shut down) machine

Norton Security 25.2.9898 for Windows is now available!

Yes, it is my home network running a Netgear router.
I just tried Smart Firewall → Restore default settings and still have the problem. Program is still allow in in Smart Firewall program control

Please try running Norton LiveUpdate + Restart (not Shut down) machine

just to eliminate version update as causal

13

Do not see how to “running Norton LiveUpdate + Restart (not Shut down) machine”
How do I do that?

14

right click Norton 360 system tray button → Run LiveUpdate

15

No "Norton 360 system tray button "

16

maybe, Norton 360 systray button is hidden?

try Security → LiveUpdate = just to eliminate version update as causal
