VS 2015: Running program files directly from the project's Release folder

In my long series of strange problems, I've encountered a new one today:

Normally, when I create a Windows Forms application and build the solution, I can go to the Solution -> Project -> bin -> Release/Debug folder and run the executable file directly from Explorer.

However, I'm suddenly unable to do that. If I use the Start shortcut in VS, the solution builds and the application starts. But when I try running the .exe file in the output folder, nothing happens. For a second, the program seems to start, but then nothing. No process in Task Manager - the application just doesn't start. No errors either.

Any ideas? I've never had problems with this before.
