Is you project a uwp project? If so, please try to change your target version and minimum version of your project. If not, could you please provide more details about your project, which could help us to solve it.
Best Regards,

Is there any update about this issue? Maybe you could try to create a new project to check if the designer could work.Look forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Dylan
