I am not seeing this issue. Is this happening on all xaml pages or just one?

I have the hardest time getting the properties for a control in the Properties window. I click on the XAML for controls and nothing. I have to click on multiple controls before VS decides to show properties. I am using VS 2022 and it has been like this since the install so it is not an update of the IDE problem.

You can also try to reset the vs settings by simply going over to Tools > Import and Export settings > Reset all settings.
