Windows not populating in /Platform directory

This error is likely due to missing the SDK or one of the components that is usually installed as a module your first launch of Visual Studio 202X. You can open that back up and install (or reinstall if need be) the correct modules. This would be my first guess.

I would always recommend using LLMs to supplement your own learning instead of relying directly on it in situations like this, as unlike code there’s no “Anchor” for it’s knowledge. It only knows information from what other users have said, but it doesn’t know the actual process so take everything from LLMs with a grain of salt.
