Dotnet 6 is now EOL. The current version of Visual Studio 2022, 17.12, requires Dotnet 6 to install the Windows application development workload.

Who's responsible for for this workload in VS 2022?

    Hello @Sean Lively ,

    Thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Yes, I see the same situation on my side. I’ve raised a ticket here: .NET 6 is EOL, but is still needed for installing and using "Windows application development" workload in Visual Studio 2022.

    Please kindly follow up that ticket and if there’s any update, I will inform you as soon as possible.


    Update1:

    Here's a similar/same ticket => Please remove the .NET 6 dependency of WinUI development component which has been escalated for further investigation. I shared it here for reference.

    Thanks for your understanding, have a nice day!

    Sincerely,

    Tianyu
