The steps are simpler because you know what you're doing, The guide from Microsoft told me to download 5 different products and download the Windows App SDK as an independent component. That was 20GB plus other MBs for the SDK. When I hit F5, it downloaded so many dependencies. It took minutes and the App was using a constant 56mb of memory while doing absolutely nothing (no events, no background threads nada) might as well use Electron. It is important to note that I was trying to create a WinUI3 app.
