I’m attempting to package the server version of the Unreal Shooter Game for UE 4.24.3 Win64, and am getting some strange errors relating to HoloLens (which I wasn’t even aware I was linking against). My packaging log looks like this: ```auto UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): Running AutomationTool...

In case it helps anyone, it seems the problem was that my Windows 10 SDK installation had broken. I reinstalled the SDK from [Windows SDK archive - Windows app development](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/) and that fixed things. ---

Confirm here as well on VS2022 Changed Win sdk from 10.0.19 to 10.0.18 and everything become fine Also you can do it via Visual Studio Installer ---

What fixed it for me is, in VIsual Studio, Solution Explorer, right click and Add Reference… on Programs-\>Automation-\>HoloLens.Automation-\>References: ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/2/5/425102c747425e0353b6e02aab77c8af3a80af93.png) and in the Browse section, which was initially an empty list, click on browse: ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/8/0/e/80e13725e5e068c23ddc3a992330bf06f95287d2.png) and locate the Windows.winmd file from the desired Windows SDK. ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/e/5/7e5c966a1b9cdceb7cc837177a6a8377c74522c9.png) Note - You will need to change the file type to All Files, and by default installation they are usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata\10.0.20348.0 or similar folder. Hope this helps 🙂 ---
