Missing Windows Desktop Extension SDK for UWP

I try to repeat this manual. My project is blank WPF + blank UWP app.

  • Target ver. Windows 10 (1903), 10.0 Build 18362
  • Min ver. Windows 10 (1903), 10.0; Build 17763

I have installed SDK Windows 10 (10.0.18362.0) screenshot

I don't have references Windows Desktop Extension SDK for UWP. screenshot

What is wrong? How to add Windows Desktop Extension SDK for UWP to my project?

I tried install all version SDK from 16299 to 18362, reinstalled and repaired the vs studio. Manual installed Windows 10 SDK from microsoft it also did not help. I found information that Windows Desktop Extension SDK for UWP was merged to main UWP packet.

But when i try run the project without Windows Desktop Extension SDK i get error

Error CS0103 The name 'FullTrustProcessLauncher' does not exist in the current context.

        if (ApiInformation.IsApiContractPresent("Windows.ApplicationModel.FullTrustAppContract", 1, 0))
        {
            await FullTrustProcessLauncher.LaunchFullTrustProcessForCurrentAppAsync();
        }

I have the same error when i try to run github example from manul without Windows Desktop Extension SDK

    For random reason your Windows SDK can be installed to wrong directory. For me it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Platform SDK. Right path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10 I just made symbol link

    mklink /j “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10” “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Platform SDK”
