GetFileAsync not compatible with unsafe?

Question

I'm trying to load files for DirectX resources.

cs
file = await Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync(path);

But I can't await in an unsafe context. How am I meant to load files?

Hello, Welcome to Micorosoft Q&A,

But I can't await in an unsafe context.

I'm afraid you can't use await in unsafe block and it is by design. for your requirement, we suggest get the file synchronization like the following,

private unsafe void LoadMethod()  
{  
    var file = Getfile().Result;  
}  
private Task<StorageFile> Getfile()  
{  
    return Task.Run(async () =>  
    {  
  
        return await Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync("items");  
  
    });  
}
