I have the same problem. I use elsa with abp. It should be system.json problem. Use this code disable system.json. Use newtonsoft instead of system.json public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context) { PreConfigure<AbpJsonOptions>(options => { options.UseHybridSerializer = false; }); }

I tried to run the sample dashboard applications but somehow neither the blazor wasm sample nor the aspnetcore one do even show the dashboard for me.

As soon as I have this all together I will make an update
