Description
Description
When I select Windows Machine, the code does not compile.
Expected behavior: When Windows Machine is selected to run the MAUI App, Visual Studio compiles the app for Windows.
The issue is not fixed when selecting .net6.0-windows from the dropdown in the code editor (I thought it would be fixed).
IntelliSense syntax check passes but build error is still there and the application cannot be started.
Clean/Rebuild does not help. Deleting bin and obj folders and then rebuilding does not help.

Research direction
Open MauiApp11.zip in Visual Studio, select the Windows Machine target, and reproduce the build failure described for .NET 6.0-Windows. Start with the Visual Studio build output and compare it with the IntelliSense result; done means the MAUI app compiles and starts on Windows 10 without requiring a cleanup workaround.
