Jump from custom bootloader to application

Hello, I am trying to build a custom bootloader which is jumping in the application. In order to do this in a first approach, i wrote a Bootloder which jumps as follows:

For the application I changed the VET_TAB_OFFSET to 0x000A0000UL.

In Keil Settings Target I changed the Read/only Memory Areas:

IROM1 : Start 0x80A000 Size 0x60000

In the Target Options I unchecked Use Memory Layout from Target Dialog

For R/O Base I put 0x080A0000

My scatter file for the application:

I use Keil with the MDK Plus Toolchain on the STM32H753.

I do the jump on the bootloader as follows and nothing happens:

void start_app()
{

	uint32_t JumpAddress = *(volatile uint32_t*) (JUMP_ADDR+4);
	void (*jump_to_application)(void)= (void*) JumpAddress;
	
	

	 HAL_RCC_DeInit();
		__disable_irq();
	__set_MSP(*(__IO uint32_t*) JUMP_ADDR);
	// Disable systick timer and reset it to default values

}

What could be the reason?
