FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a new WinUI 3 desktop app project from scratch?▼

To bootstrap a WinUI 3 desktop app, follow a guided setup flow that validates OS version, Visual Studio readiness, and Developer Mode, then scaffolds the initial project structure. This bundled workflow ensures environment prerequisites are met before generating your first Windows application files.

Do I need to enable Developer Mode to scaffold a Windows App SDK application?▼

Yes, enabling Developer Mode is a prerequisite checked during the Windows App SDK environment audit. The bootstrapping setup verifies Developer Mode state alongside OS version and Visual Studio readiness before scaffolding your WinUI 3 application.

What is the difference between packaged and unpackaged WinUI 3 apps?▼

Packaged and unpackaged WinUI 3 apps differ in deployment and distribution choices. The scaffolding workflow provides packaging-aware guidance to help you navigate and select the correct deployment model for your Windows App SDK application during setup.

How do I verify my Windows App SDK environment is ready for development?▼

Verify your Windows App SDK environment using an integrated environment-audit checklist that checks OS version, Visual Studio readiness, SDK presence, and Developer Mode. This readiness verification ensures your machine is fully prepared before you scaffold a WinUI 3 app.

Can I automate first launch verification after scaffolding a WinUI 3 project?▼

Yes, you can automate first launch verification using the bundled build and run verification checklists. After the WinUI 3 scaffold is generated, the workflow performs a first launch verification to confirm deployment readiness and validate the application setup.
