WDS Windows Desktop Search API in Windows Service

I tried integrating the SDKSampleApp into a Windows Service (called by
Remoting from a WinForms GUI) but keep receiving the following error message:

System.InvalidC astException: QueryInterface for interface
Microsoft.Windo ws.DesktopSearc h.Query.ISearch Desktop failed.

Web searches yield plenty of discussion re ASP.NET / AspCompat = true /
<identity impersonate="tr ue"/> but nothing obviously relevant to Windows
Service integration.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi. I know my windows service works when i run it in debug mode on my dev machine. It also works in release mode on my dev machine. But, when I move the service to a production server, it exits immediately with a start/stop/nothing to do error. What could be wrong?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
