Hi @longevity uyl , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant.

Windows.Devices.Enumeration is a UWP API.

You should create a uwp project.

If you can't create it, go to installer to install it.

enter image description here

I could not give you further compilation advice regarding UWP, you can post a case with UWP tag.

Because yours is the Chinese version, the translation is different.

What you are talking about is the .net version of the Console App.

You can just select the first one on the right.

The .Net Framework refers to the windows-specific version.

Best Regards,

Jiale

Thanks for your reply! I select the first one on the right as you suggested. But Visual Studio compiled failed with CS0246 can't find namespace Windows messages.

Thanks for your reply! I have installed UWP components. But I still can't see UWP console option when creating a new project.

That's it. The UWP project does not have a pure Console project. UWP projects are essentially GUI application projects. The first item on your list is the item for which you can use this namespace.

Thanks for your reply! From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/console-uwp link, Visual Studio 2022 doesn't support creating UWP console application. Should I close this case first and open a new case for enabling Bluetooth capability of console project?

Hi @longevity uyl ，，The original UWP console is gone. If you don't want to use the console, you can choose to use Template Name: Windows Console Application(C++/WinRT).

#include "pch.h" #include <iostream> #include <winrt/Windows.Devices.Enumeration.h> using namespace winrt; using namespace Windows::Devices::Enumeration; int main() { init_apartment(); auto devices = DeviceInformation::FindAllAsync().get(); for (auto device : devices) { std::wcout << L"Device name: " << device.Name().c_str() << std::endl; std::wcout << L"Device ID: " << device.Id().c_str() << std::endl; } return 0; }
