revert the project file to pre-update condition, it probably targets net 6.
I'm using Upgrade Assistant to move off .net framework but it is incorrectly flagging a project as upgraded when it isn't

I'm running the command line upgrade assistant.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/porting/upgrade-assistant-install
I have multiple projects to upgrade from .net framework.
I run the tool against a project, it seems to work - it says no fails, some succeeded, some skipped, and mostly it is ok - I can then build the project and it builds ok and it is now pointing at .net 6.
However some projects appeared to work, but didn't - they are still on .net framework. Yet when I try to upgrade again, it just prompts to upgrade to .net 7, it seems to think it has upgraded to .net 6 but it definitely hasn't.
How can I get it to realise the project hasn't been upgraded?

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
… they are still on .net framework.
… it seems to think it has upgraded to .net 6 but it definitely hasn’t.
How did you confirm that the project is still on .net framework? If you navigate to your project file(right-click your project => Unload Project => right-click it again => Edit Project File), is
<TargetFramework></TargetFramework>property set to net6.0?Besides, is there any mistake for example, the projects(original and generated) have the similar name, and maybe use the wrong project name in command line?
