I am using Windows 10 22h2 (19045.4170) and have the latest Windows 11 SDK (22621.0) and Windows 10 SDK (20348.0). In Visual Studio (UWP Project), my target version is Windows 10 version 2104, but I am unable to view the designer and it tells me to upgrade to Windows 11.
I will be happy to get a solution for this :)

    Hello @Emmanuel James,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    You need to install a lower version of Windows SDK(for example 19041) which should be lower than your machine OS version(19045.4170), and target to a previous corresponding version of Windows OS(for example Windows 10, version 2004; Build 19041). Otherwise, you need to upgrade to Windows 11.
