Research direction
Download and run the attached WPF_XAML_Islands_WinUI3-master.zip sample using Windows App SDK 1.6.1 on Windows 11, then capture the COM exception and identify which custom WinUI control or XAML step triggers it. Done means the sample runs without the COM exception in the reported WPF/WF scenario.
