My demo keylogger will not function as normal when app is published

[d0773d]

I'm not sure if this issue is a Windows 10 security thing.... I created a demo keylogger app which functions as normal when I run the app in VS Studio 2019 community. My demo app captures key presses and saves the key presses into a textbox for a proof of concept.

I then go to Build -> Publish and follow the onscreen prompts to build/publish my app. I then execute setup.exe to install my demo app. My demo app opens just fine without errors; however, the keylogger doesn't seem to capture any key presses to place the captured key presses into the textbox.

Did Microsoft block this type of functionality into their newer versions of Windows?

Maybe they do check for hooks. Try to use the polling method and if that should not work try to even remove any hooking code completely.
