App Manifest Ignored

Question

I am developing an app in Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7 x64 that requires administrator privileges but it appears my manifest is being ignored:

Answer 1

If you like me removed the manifest and restored it back via source control, your app has likely selected the default-settings-manifest and will ignore all further changes to your custom app.manifest file.

To resolve the problem:

1. Right click your project
2. Click properties
3. Find the Icons and Manifest section
4. Specify the app.manifest in the drop-down
5. Save changes
