Visual Studio 2026 – F# MAUI fails with “DEP1700: The recipe file …” is missing

I recently installed Visual Studio 2026.
My program is written in F# with MAUI.
With Visual Studio 2022 it was working so far, since I installed VS 2026, it fails on VS 2022 as well. Prior VS 2026 I didn’t get any such error.
The error I receive is:

DEP1700: The recipe file "C:\Users\name\Documents\test\GetStartedApp\bin\Debug\net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0\GetStartedApp.build.appxrecipe" does not exist. You may need to build your project.

So far I tried the following (based on ChatGPT recommendations)

• I check Your WindowsPackageType in the .fsproj -> WindowsPackageType is not in the file
• The correct framework is set net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0
• Build + Deploy are both enabled for the Project
• I cleaned the project -> bin/obj Folders
• MsixPackage is in the launchSettings.json file
• maui-windows is installed
• No special characters in the path
• I created a new MAUI template and get the same error

Do you know how to resolve this issue?
