AppHost asks for logon token but doesn't provide it

Every now and then, the AppHost asks for logon token but doesn't provide it.

Even if DOTNET_DASHBOARD_UNSECURED_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS is set to true, an unknown logon token is requested.

Found a terminal window for "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Platform\Debugger\VsDebugConsole.exe" with:

[process exited with code 4294967295 (0xffffffff)]
You can now close this terminal with Ctrl+D, or press Enter to restart.

Using Visual Studio 2022 17.9.6 doesn't launch that terminal window, but has the same behavior.

The only think that the AppHost output shows is:

dbug: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Internal.Host[1]
      Hosting starting
dbug: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Internal.Host[1]
      Hosting starting
dbug: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Internal.Host[2]
      Hosting started
dbug: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Internal.Host[2]
      Hosting started

After a reboot, the dashboard was launched with https://localhost:17182/login?t=23e304592070eb1f5895f99931ac1b04, but that token is not accepted.

Unexpected error when validating the token

Removing

"DOTNET_DASHBOARD_UNSECURED_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS": "true",

from launchSettings.json solved it. For now.

How can I diagnose this?

@paulomorgado just confirming did you update the apphost package as well in the project?

[paulomorgado]

@timheuer, updated everything.

This seems to be environmental, but I haven't been able to figure out where the problem is.

Can you share output of running dotnet --list-sdks and dotnet workload list?

Use `dotnet workload search` to find additional workloads to install.

I keep forgetting that I need to update the workload on every new version.

Let's see if this solves it.
