✅ .EXE works in release but not publish?

Hi, I have a WPF application, and I have made some stuff with the notification area (system tray), I tried yesterday to do it with <UseWinForms>true<UseWinForms>, and everything worked perfectly when building with release. but when I build with publish, it doesn't work. And I know its because of the WinForms thing, since if i removed it, it launched fine. Then I found a nuget package today, which can do the system tray things, but now, again, it doesn't wanna run in publish, but it again runs just fine in release. I use the following settings in my PublishProfile: 
  <PropertyGroup>
    <Configuration>Release</Configuration>
    <Platform>x64</Platform>
    <PublishDir>bin\Release\net6.0-windows\publish\</PublishDir>
    <PublishProtocol>FileSystem</PublishProtocol>
    <_TargetId>Folder</_TargetId>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
    <SelfContained>true</SelfContained>
    <PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
    <IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>true</IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>
    <PublishReadyToRun>false</PublishReadyToRun>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <Configuration>Release</Configuration>
    <Platform>x64</Platform>
    <PublishDir>bin\Release\net6.0-windows\publish\</PublishDir>
    <PublishProtocol>FileSystem</PublishProtocol>
    <_TargetId>Folder</_TargetId>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
    <SelfContained>true</SelfContained>
    <PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
    <IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>true</IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>
    <PublishReadyToRun>false</PublishReadyToRun>
  </PropertyGroup>
This is my csproj: 
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
    <Platforms>x64</Platforms>
    <ApplicationIcon>henry.ico</ApplicationIcon>
    <_SuppressWpfTrimError>true</_SuppressWpfTrimError>
    <ApplicationManifest>app.manifest</ApplicationManifest>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
    <Platforms>x64</Platforms>
    <ApplicationIcon>henry.ico</ApplicationIcon>
    <_SuppressWpfTrimError>true</_SuppressWpfTrimError>
    <ApplicationManifest>app.manifest</ApplicationManifest>
  </PropertyGroup>
Is there some way I can debug it to figure out why it doesn't work, it is really pissing me off that it doesn't work when I publish it... but for some reason works when I build it for release

Turning off PublishSingleFile fixes it, but why...? 😦 I need it as a single file I fixed it with IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract set to true, after finding the remark of it maybe fixing combatability problems https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file/overview?tabs=cli
