Hi Team,
I have a WinForms application developed on .NET Core 3.1 which uses Auth0.OidcClient.WinForms library. I was able to call LogoutAsync() successfully and LoginAsync() and get the whole authentication flow working. The issue is, suddenly I started getting the following blank window with an “OK” on it.
The only change I could think of was my network. I was on my home network when it was working for me, and today I tried with a different network (mobile hotspot).
Update: I tried from the home network and it still seems to be there.
However, everything else such as application code, Auth0 configuration remain the same.
What I have tried so far:
I right-clicked on the login window, and I can see that it’s not using MS Edge as I would have thought. It seems to be using IE11. So I removed IE11 from Windows. It still seems to be happening.
Here’s a screenshot of it:
I tried clearing my cache from Internet Properties/Temporary Internet Files etc. None of them seems to help. Does it fall back to IE11 for the webview when something’s not right?
I also found a workaround which is described as follows:
- When LoginAsync() is called it gives me the Auth0 login popup
- Upon successful, I get the blank window shown above.
- I could right click and hit “Back” option from the context menu
- Then, hit “Forward” button and the popup disappears, and I could use the application as usual.
Bit more info if it helps.

OS: Windows 10 with latest updates (Windows 10 Pro - v2004)
I also came across this thread: I need to login from native Winforms desktop app without redirect to Auth0 Login Page
However, this seems to be happening for me on Windows 10. Let me know if I need to put more details to the question. Thanks!
