And for your situation, you can use a simple method to avoid this:

Close your visual studio, open the Microsoft.Dotnet.Wpf.sln file via text editor, and remove everything between GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution and EndGlobalSection.

Make it like this:

Save it, and then open it via visual studio.

After that, the issue you encountered should disappear.

By the way, I checked the info of the projects, it related to .net sdk 9.0. So please also use the latest visual studio version which support the .net sdk 9.0.

And to avoid other problems, I suggest you using official NuGet source:
