Additional context This is caused by a bug in WPFUI. Many other projects have run into this issue, a big example being Power Toys. A newer version of WPFUI (>=3.0.0-preview.12) fixes it. See:

• https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/30411
• https://github.com/lepoco/wpfui/pull/859

This project appears to have 2.1.0 pinned, which has this bug: https://github.com/JamesCJ60/Universal-x86-Tuning-Utility/blob/2b8fc50404828f0d3b3f7558ded94d3b54427617/Universal%20x86%20Tuning%20Utility/Universal%20x86%20Tuning%20Utility.csproj#L51
