+When loading in the default <xref:System.Runtime.Loader.AssemblyLoadContext>, assemblies found in `TRUSTED_PLATFORM_ASSEMBLIES` or `APP_PATHS` take precedence over a specified path or raw assembly object. For example, if you call <xref:System.Runtime.Loader.AssemblyLoadContext.LoadFromStream%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:System.Runtime.Loader.AssemblyLoadContext.LoadFromAssemblyPath%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> on the default <xref:System.Runtime.Loader.AssemblyLoadContext> and an assembly with a matching name exists in `TRUSTED_PLATFORM_ASSEMBLIES` or `APP_PATHS`, the runtime loads the assembly from those locations instead of from the specified stream or path.

 ## Satellite (resource) assembly probing
 
 To find a satellite assembly for a specific culture, construct a set of file paths.

     - Load from the specified path or raw assembly object. If an assembly is newly loaded, a reference is added to the `active` <xref:System.Runtime.Loader.AssemblyLoadContext> instance's `cache-by-name`.
 
 4. In either case, if an assembly is newly loaded, then the <xref:System.AppDomain.AssemblyLoad?displayProperty=nameWithType> event is raised.
