Triage: @xianyoong is it only WPF applications impacted or does it repro when you publish other applications (console, winforms) self-contained as well?

[marcpopMSFT]

CC @agocke for self-contained in case this looks familiar.

It's only WPF applications will happen

[marcpopMSFT]

Since it's only WPF, transferring for WPF to investigate.
