Hello,

I have a project on visual studio 2022 that I'm trying to build but it's showing me import errors that aren't supposed to be there. I've tried everything, looked for solutions, installed SDKs, updated my PC, but nothing. I've also tried with a PC running Windows 11 but I'm having the same problems.

    Hi @The ArtistB ,

    The namespaces you're trying to import seem incorrect. For Bluetooth-related functionality and storage streams in a Windows environment, the correct namespaces should come from the Windows.Devices.Bluetooth and Windows.Storage.Streams namespaces, not from System.Windows.

    Best Regards.
