The version of the WebBrowser is the problem:

The only thing that you need to do is to set the version of the browser in the key registry:

Something like this will do the job:

var appName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName);
                Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue(@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION",
                      appName, 11000, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord);

    //where: 11000 is currently the last version of iExplorer

Please note that 11000 is the value that worked(for me). If you use 10000 or lower it is not going to work.

Alternatively, you can just get your app's process name, in my case appName.vshost.exe, then go make the registry key yourself. – Tyler Jan 19 '17 at 08:36
