Windows 10: Need to manually launch ClickOnce in order to open .Application files in Edge

Hi,For the last week and a half, users in our org have sporadically started encountering issues with launching Deltek Vision, an application we access with a shortcut that opens as a .Application in Edge via ClickOnce. The prompt to open the file will appear in Edge but nothing happens after you click Open. The workaround we have for now is manually launching dfsvc in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319, which appears to run the ClickOnce service/process when checked in Task Manager. How can this be permanently resolved though?

ClickOnce Dialog Bypass - Microsoft Edge Chromium

I am trying to follow a set of instructions that were provided by a vendor to bypass a pop-up dialog box. I am performing these steps in Windows Server 2016 Standard. The instructions are as follows:

1. Download and install the Enterprise Site List Manager tool from Microsoft:

Download Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) from Official Microsoft Download Center

2. Run the tool and configure your site list URL’s following the steps below:

a. Click the Add button

b. Enter the full URL including the ClickOnce web application (e.g. https://vision.company.com/visionclient)

c. Leave all other defaults

d. Click Save.

e. Enter additional URL’s as appropriate following steps a-d above.

f. When complete click File->Save to XML, enter a name and network location that all clients will be able to access (via Group Policy).

3. Download and install the Edge Group Policies to your domain from the link below:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download

a. Select the Channel/Version of Edge Chromium browser

b. Select the build deployed

c. Select the platform in use

d. Click “Get Policy Files”

e. More information on available Edge policies included in the download are listed below:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies

4. Configure the following Edge Group Policies under User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Microsoft Edge:

a. Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List

i. Enable the policy

ii. Under Options->Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List, enter the network location of the XML file created in Step 2

iii. Click Apply and then OK

b. Configure Internet Explorer Integration

i. Enable the policy

ii. Under Options->Configure Internet Explorer Integration select Internet Explorer mode from the drop down.

iii. Click Apply and then OK

5. Test the new group policies and once satisfied, roll the new policies out to your users.

After performing all of these steps I created a test OU. Moved 1 machine over to that test OU. Applied the GPO and restarted the PC. I then had user login and try test it out, still getting the pop-up. Any suggestions?
