Feature 'module initializers' is not available in C# 8.0

[mikan66]

I'm a bit of a novice with the config items. Out of the box, it won't build.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.4.4

.nuget\packages\microsoft.windowsappsdk\1.2.221109.1\include\DeploymentManagerAutoInitializer.cs(27,10,27,67): error CS8400: Feature 'module initializers' is not available in C# 8.0. Please use language version 9.0 or greater.
