Here is the code that use.

 {
     Source = source,
     Aspect = Aspect.Fill,
     WidthRequest = 100,
     HeightRequest = 100,    
     VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center
     
 };
 AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutBounds(image, new Rect(0, 0, 1, 1));
 AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutFlags(image, AbsoluteLayoutFlags.All);
 // Button 1
 var playButton = new ImageButton
 {
     Source = "MainMenuBts/play.png",
     BackgroundColor = Colors.Transparent,
     WidthRequest = scaleImages.Scaling(),
     HeightRequest = scaleImages.Scaling(),
 };
 AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutBounds(playButton, new Rect(posA, posA1, playButton.WidthRequest, playButton.HeightRequest));
 AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutFlags(playButton, AbsoluteLayoutFlags.PositionProportional);
 Content = new AbsoluteLayout
 {

    Hi anandarus allen

    I'm glad that you were able to resolve your issue and thank you for posting your solution so that others experiencing the same thing can easily reference this! Since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer.

    Ask: Images show up on other devices but not windows build

    Solution: The issue is resolved. That you fixed it by flattening out the images, which is just removing them from the subfolders. Android takes the subfolders but not Windows.

    If I missed anything please let me know and I'd be happy to add it to my answer, or feel free to comment below with any additional information.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.

    var playButton = new ImageButton

    {

    Source = ImageSource.FromFile("Images/MainMenuBts/play.png"), // Or try .FromResource for embedded resources

BackgroundColor = Colors.Transparent,

WidthRequest = scaleImages.Scaling(),

HeightRequest = scaleImages.Scaling(),

    };

    By ensuring that images are correctly placed in the Resources\Images folder, confirming the correct usage of ImageSource, and considering platform-specific paths, you should be able to make the images visible on Windows. If the issue persists, try debugging the image paths and verify if any platform-specific behavior is affecting the image loading.
