Appium desktop not detecting UWP app elements

Appium or Appium Desktop?

You are reporting an issue at the Appium Desktop repository. Appium Desktop is a wrapper around Appium. If you are having trouble running tests, it is much more likely that the problem you are encountering is not a problem with Appium Desktop but with Appium. For that reason we require you to have tried your testcase with Appium CLI before reporting issues. Check the checkbox below to confirm that you have proven your issue does not reproduce on Appium itself:

• [x] I have verified that my issue does not occur with Appium and should be investigated as an Appium Desktop issue

Also having same issue with the latest version of Appium Desktop. Latest version of Appium works just fine and can detect the elements in my E2E tests, they just aren't being detected in the Appium Desktop app.

All inspector work has moved to https://github.com/appium/appium-inspector/releases. Can you please try the latest release there, and then create an issue at that repo if something still isn't working?
