Description

Needed to set a few of the AppLifeCycle projects Windows SDK Version to "10.0 (latest installed version)".
Got "error MSB8036: The Windows SDK version 10.0.22000.0 was not found"

A build.cmd /clean option would be nice, I had to rename the base folder because the path string was too long and everything failed, causing me to delete the whole folder and reclone to get a clean build.

Research direction

Inspect build.cmd and the AppLifeCycle project settings first, focusing on the Windows SDK version that causes MSB8036. Confirm that the samples build with the latest installed SDK and determine how a clean option should reset the build state without recloning.
