[CI][Windows] Application Control blocks managed build-task dependencies (0x800711C7) #27045
Description
Apple platform
iOS builds in the Windows remote-build CI lane. No selected Apple runtime is inferred from the host or a sibling job.
Framework version
The test assemblies target net11.0-*. Selected SDKs and blocked components differ between the observations below and are not conflated.
Affected platform version
Windows CI, explicit Application Control denial 0x800711C7. The precise Windows OS build, policy identifier and common image/policy origin have not been established. Worker identifiers, addresses and connection parameters are not published.
Description
Two distinct monitored PRs report the same explicit Windows Application Control managed-assembly load-denial mechanism during MSBuild task execution. This is a CI execution-policy infrastructure symptom, not evidence that the incoming PR source is wrong or that the tests are flaky.
There are 3 task/root observations across 2 PRs and 2 build/job scopes. This is not a sum of original testcase counts:
- PR [release/11.0.1xx] Address PoliCheck Severity 1 findings and wording typos #27027, reset head
95c8430a90add94fdf3bfce6eb3d390db8556368: run 15816252 / Windows stage1-job1. The local .NET task reported 73 tests / 73 failures withFileLoadExceptionloadingXamarin.Localization.MSBuildversion27.1.11028.0and Application Control0x800711C7. A later remote .NET task in the same job reported the same blocked task assembly inParseBundlerArguments,CollectBundleResourcesandFindItemWithLogicalName; that remote execution selected SDK11.0.100. Original Windows reports were unavailable. These remain two task/root observations, not 73 invented original testcase identities or two distinct PRs. - PR [main] Update dependencies from dotnet/xharness #27043, own reset head
74455d0e7b7c9bd13bf98444cee34fbf125e11ee: run 15824143 / Windows stage1-job1. The remote .NET task's own VSTest console reports eight named failed cases. Each own error message identifiesDetectDebugNetworkConfiguration,FileLoadException, blocked dependencySystem.Net.NetworkInformation.dll, Application Control and0x800711C7. The own error paths select SDK12.0.100-alpha.1.26513.123, not the earlier SDK or a bootstrap SDK.
The eight current reported failed cases are:
BuildProjectsWithExtensionsOnRemoteWindows(iOS,"ios-arm64",False)
LibraryWithResourcesOnRemoteWindows(iOS,False)
CodeChangeSkipsTargetsOnRemoteWindows(iOS,"iossimulator-arm64")
BuildEmbeddedFrameworkInBindingProjectApp(iOS,"iossimulator-arm64")
BundleStructureWithRemoteMac(iOS,"ios-arm64",All,"Debug")
PluralRuntimeIdentifiersWithRemoteMac(iOS,"ios-arm64","Debug")
PluralRuntimeIdentifiersWithRemoteMac(iOS,"iossimulator-arm64","Debug")
RemoteTest(iOS,"ios-arm64","Debug")
The current console contains a partial 23 Passed / 9 Failed result set. The ninth failure is the separate generated-path/RemoveDir recurrence tracked in #27040; it is not counted as an Application Control failure. The enclosing Windows job reached its 120-minute deadline; that deadline and any reason a process remained alive are separate observations, not proof of an exclusive common policy or source-code cause.
The precise blocked assembly, selected SDK and task differ between PRs. An identical policy rule, image, worker or causal initiator has not been established, and no such identity is asserted.
Searches covered open and closed issues for the exact HRESULT, Application Control text, both managed components and the exact failing test. All 48 deduplicated candidate bodies and paginated non-ignored comment histories were inspected; none records this explicit policy-denial mechanism. Assembly-version mismatch, platform-linker and historical application-startup reports were not treated as this failure.
Steps to Reproduce
- Use the existing authorized Windows .NET CI lane for either recorded head; no independent local reproduction is claimed.
- Observe the affected MSBuild task fail with
FileLoadExceptionand the explicit Application Control denial0x800711C7. - Use the linked job's own logs to retain the selected SDK and blocked assembly for that execution. Do not substitute values from another job.
Did you find any workaround?
No validated workaround. No monitor retries or changes to source, SDKs, workers, registry, security policy, caches, feeds or credentials were made. Retry capacity for the current PR remains uncertified because all-actor accepted-request history is incomplete. Source branches remain read-only.
Build logs
MSB4018: The "DetectDebugNetworkConfiguration" task failed unexpectedly.

System.Net.NetworkInformation.dll
An Application Control policy has blocked this file. (0x800711C7)
The excerpt is limited to the current execution's public diagnostic signature. Final Windows TestSummary, HtmlReport/TRX and binlog artifacts were not published after the current job was canceled; their publication tasks are recorded as skipped. Precise original case clocks and the complete remote-suite result are unavailable. The local run independently reports 68 Passed, while the subsequent generator step was skipped. Use the authorized job links above; artifact retention is limited. Raw commands, messages containing connection data, private paths, worker identities and addresses are intentionally omitted.

External reexecution follow-up; no new Application Control failure or testcase outcome.
The two recorded source scopes now have new Windows attempt 2 executions:
95c8430a90add94fdf3bfce6eb3d390db8556368: run 15816252, Windows stage/reservation/job generation 2.74455d0e7b7c9bd13bf98444cee34fbf125e11ee: run 15824143, Windows stage/reservation/job generation 2.Both own parents are observed
inProgress, with result/finish absent and publisher generation 2 pending, after their separately retained failed completions. New reservation Undo logs verify each logical head. The Windows product-job Undo tasks are still pending in these snapshots: no new product checkout, selected SDK/runtime, original NUnit/TRX/binlog result, policy-denial recurrence or recovery is inferred from the reservation.Each source-bound reexecution establishes one additional external accepted-service-request lower bound. Observable minima are 1 PR-lifetime / 1 current-head for each PR. These are not charges per job or publisher generation. Exact request count/grouping, payload, actor and service submission time remain unknown; execution/start or observation clocks are not submission clocks. Complete all-actor history and spare retry capacity remain uncertified; all older charges and failure evidence are retained without refund, reset or new initial-run exemption.
The documented policy family remains 3 task/root observations across 2 PRs and 2 build/job scopes. Its native records remain the two older task roots and eight separately identified later failed cases; these mixed units are not added into an invented testcase total. No new failure is counted here, and an identical policy rule/image/worker origin is still not established.
The refreshed issue body has no Additional info to collect section. No monitor retry, approval, source change, worker probe, SDK/registry/security-policy repair or remote deletion was performed. Worker identifiers/addresses and raw invocation data are not disclosed.

Its Windows generation-2 product job was canceled with its own explicit 120-minute job limit, after remote tests had started. Final TestSummary/HtmlReport/binlog preparation and publication, plus generator execution, were producer-skipped, not presumed expired or passed. The retained partial console does not establish a new policy-denial or MAX_PATH testcase recurrence, an original-case recovery, or an exclusive cancellation/liveness cause.Both one-charge accepted-request lower-bound records are now associated with their observed parent ends. Minima remain 1 lifetime / 1 current-head for each PR. Exact request count/grouping, payload, actor, submission clock and payload satisfaction remain unknown. No charge is refunded, reset or converted into a new initial-run exemption, and complete all-actor history/remaining capacity are still uncertified.
The policy family remains 3 task/root observations across 2 PRs and 2 build/job scopes. Native records remain 2 older task roots on one PR and 8 later original cases on the other; these mixed units are not added into a testcase total.
The refreshed issue body has no Additional info to collect section. Worker identities/addresses and raw commands are withheld. No monitor retry, approval, source fix, policy/SDK/registry/worker repair or remote deletion was performed.

New Windows3 reservation; no new Application Control failure or policy recovery.
PR #27043, unchanged logical head
74455d0e7b7c9bd13bf98444cee34fbf125e11ee, run 15824143: Windows stage/reservation generation 3, reservation jobec320ce4-ff58-5da0-ac2e-f1e9d3a0d17e, publisher generation 3.Its own reservation reset verifies the logical head. The reservation and shared parent are captured inProgress, with result/finish absent; the Windows product job has not started. Reservation checkout is not a product-tested head, selected SDK/runtime, original NUnit/TRX/binlog result, new policy denial or recovery. The existing managed-assembly Application Control error
0x800711c7remains the diagnosis for the original named failures; an identical policy rule/image/worker origin is not inferred.This adds one external accepted-service-request lower bound, bringing observable PR-lifetime/current-head minima to 2/2. The earlier completed Windows2 request, terminal association and charge are retained. The actor, exact request payload/grouping/count and service submission time remain unknown; stage/job/observation clocks are not submission clocks. No new initial-run exemption, reset or refund applies.
Counts are unchanged: 8 separately identified original failed cases on 1 monitored PR for this named-assembly signature. The documented policy family remains 3 task/root observations across 2 PRs; its two older localization-task roots and eight later named failures are different units and are not added into a fictitious testcase total.
Additional info to collect - bot list: Not permitted / unavailable. No applicable repository or infrastructure policy outside the issue authorizes publishing CI worker identities. The current product job has not started, so a reservation identity cannot substitute for its worker or the original failure's worker. Machine addresses, worker identifiers and raw connection/invocation data are withheld; the issue request is not disclosure permission.
Complete all-actor retry history and spare capacity remain uncertified. No monitor retry, approval, source change, endpoint/worker probe, shared-worker repair, SDK/registry/security-policy change or remote deletion was performed. Restricted infrastructure identifiers and raw invocation data are not published.

All eight originally reported #27043 Application Control failure identities now have actual Passed results on Windows3.
Exact logical head
74455d0e7b7c9bd13bf98444cee34fbf125e11ee, run 15824143 / Windows stage3-job3, job498014e0-e17a-56b6-3843-9311e46fa4ad.The eight exact test identities listed in this issue were individually matched to Passed leaves in this generation's original
windows-remote-dotnet-tests.trx, with each real leaf clock inside its own job interval. This is original result evidence, not inference from a green task or TestSummary. The separate earlier path-length case also passed and is reported under canonical #27046, not counted as a ninth Application Control case.Windows3 actually succeeded at
2026-10-27T17:18:03.9066667Z; the own shared parent then succeeded at2026-10-27T17:26:53.260764Z. Its current reports contain 33 remote .NET Passed, 68 local .NET Passed, 427 bgen Passed / 1 NotExecuted. The NotExecuted leaf remains unexecuted. The already-paid cycle1240 parent association is completed, with no refund or certification of the unknown exact accepted payload. Recorded lifetime/current-head minima remain at least 2/2, with all-actor history incomplete.No new policy failure occurrence is added. This named-assembly signature retains 8 separately identified original failed cases on 1 monitored PR. The two older #27027 localization-task roots are a separate native signature; the documented policy family remains 3 task/root observations across 2 PRs. These different units are not added into a fictitious testcase total, and eight actual case outcomes are not eight new failures or requests.
These are bounded same-logical-head case recoveries, not evidence that the underlying policy/image/worker was permanently fixed or that different SDK/blocked-assembly scopes share one exclusive cause. This update does not infer a newly selected SDK or Apple runtime from the old failed execution, a bootstrap folder, or another job.
Additional info to collect: the body asks for a running bot list. For these eight exact cases in run 15824143 Windows3, bot/worker identifiers are not permitted for publication: no applicable policy outside the issue authorizes disclosure. No bot value is invented or borrowed from reservation metadata; addresses and connection parameters remain restricted. The restriction satisfies the checklist without exposing those values.
No monitor retry, source change, security-policy/registry/cache/feed repair, credential action or remote deletion occurred.
