Visual Studio Code – Share.RequestAsync() doesn't work on .Net MAUI in Windows 10

On my .Net MAUI app, I need to use Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.Share to share some text. I followed this documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/platform-integration/data/share?view=net-maui-7.0&tabs=windows

And this is my code:

    [ICommand]
    private async Task ShareAsync()
    {
        string text = $"Some text";

        await Share.RequestAsync(new ShareTextRequest
        {
            Text = text,
            Title = "Calculation Results"
        });
    }

This works well on iOS and Android, but when I run it on Windows 10 in Visual Studio, executing Share.RequestAsync() does not do anything. No exception is thrown. It just quietly passes this line… and nothing happens. Can this be fixed?

    I successfully triggered the share window via a button with ICommand in Windows 11 like below:

    
public ICommand Mycommand { private set; get; }
public MainPage()
{
     InitializeComponent();
     Mycommand = new Command(


     async() =>
     {
         string text = $"Some text";
         await Share.Default.RequestAsync(new ShareTextRequest

         {

                    Text = text,

                    Title = "Calculation Results"

                });
            });

     BindingContext = this;
}

    And this should work as expected in Windows or other platforms. I would suggest that you can upgrading your VS to the lasted one. My VS version is Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.3.6

    Update:

    The Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.Share doesn’t work in Windows 10 ,however it works in Windows 11. You can raise a new issue in Github.

    Try updating workloads. It fixed file sharing issue in my case.

    PowerShell command line: dotnet workload update.
