@michael-hawker i found out that if enum is A, B, C... everythings works fine like this: public enum NavigationViewPaneDisplayMode { Auto, Left, Top, LeftCompact, LeftMinimal }

but if enum is A = 0, B = 1, C = 2,.... not working and i see Windows.Foundation.IRefrence1

 public enum TextAlignment
 {
     Center = 0,
     Left = 1,
     Start = 1,
     Right = 2,
     End = 2,
     Justify = 3,
     DetectFromContent = 4
 }

i found a solution:

<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate x:DataType="enums:TextAlignment">
        <TextBlock Text="{x:Bind}" />
    </DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>

but anyway this issue should be fixed
