Maui MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync windows doesn't display camera

When I run the app is the VS 2022 on Windows 10 the MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method displays the camera and allows me to capture a photo.

When the app is published and installed on Windows 10 the MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method doesn't display the camera and sends me a bogus image filename.

I have a looked for a permission setting but it doesn't seem to be a requirement for Windows apps.

The MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method also works great in iOS and Android.

How can I get the MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync method to work on a published Windows app
