If it helps, after much experimenting and frustration with trying to find a compatible VS version to the constantly evolving Win11, the following combination is working for me:

Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 23H2
Installed on ‎2023-‎05-‎25
OS build 22631.3527
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1003.0

against VS 0.2.786.355

I do not accept any offer from the VS upgrade plugin to upgrade since it may put me right back into frustration, as the toolchain appears to be quite unstable (my current version, however, has been running well for around a month, even when I go through recommended Win11 updates, so far so good...).

Only if I see positive comments from the larger user group, I will consider upgrading. I've been on the bleeding edge too long and I'm passing the fun on to other members of the group!

I built VS and launched a debug session; this is where it breaks:
