I faced a similar issue recently after updating Visual Studio 2022 (17.14.9) — specifically the “WinRT information: No COM Servers are registered for this app” error when trying to deploy my .NET MAUI (WinUI) app.
After trying the usual steps (clean/rebuild, reinstall SDKs, repairing/downgrading Visual Studio), what finally resolved it for me was re-registering the app’s COM components manually. Here’s what worked:
Ensure Windows App SDK is installed
Go to Apps & Features and check if “Microsoft Windows App Runtime” is present.
If not, download and install it from here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads
Re-register the AppX manifest
Clear old deployment/cache
Delete any existing folders under:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\<your_app>
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\<your_app>
Rebuild and deploy the app again from Visual Studio.
Let me know if you're still facing the problem after following these suggestions.
Thanks.
