Hello @saatvik.dube

The information mpxc mentioned is definitely a good starting point with the issue. Were you able to resolve it?

Just VS 2022 should work fine; I’ve set it up this way plenty of times. It’s likely that the Win10/11 SDKs aren’t installed through the VS installer though.

that’s what it is; try these settings. If that doesn’t help, you can try manually installing the latest .NET SDK + Runtime, as well as Windows SDK
