Description

_This issue has been moved from [a ticket on Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Cannot-locate-resource-mainwindowxaml/10238138)._

---
[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]
WPF causing System.IO.IOException on startup when:
1. *.csproj indicate `en-US`
2. AssemblyInfo.cs indicate `[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("en-US", UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.MainAssembly)]` (only when `location` is `MainAssembly`, i.e. no problem when `location` is `satellite`)

Encountered on .NET Framework 4.7.2.

Problem disappeared after `UICulture` was removed.
