I am new to programming. I am trying to figure out how to work with MAUI. The problem is that the program does not start in Windows Explorer, but everything works fine from Visual Studio (mobile and desktop versions).Windows11

Answer 1

Just tried it with one of my apps and the same thing happened. When I tried both Debug and Release. When I want an exe that I can execute I do the following:Create windows .exe

Navigate to project folder

dotnet publish -f net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0 -c Release -p:RuntimeIdentifierOverride=win10-x64 -p:WindowsPackageType=None

The navigation to the project folder should be done by Tools/CommandLine/Developer Command Prompt

Then you can copy the dotnet publish and paste it into the command window. Hit enter and it will create a windows exe that can be used. Not that I create a Release exe as it will run faster and actually never tried with Debug
