Meta XR Simulator keeps requiring Windows App Runtime 1.5+ even though newer versions are installed

I’m looking for help regarding an issue with Meta XR Simulator on Windows 11.

I’ve installed Meta XR Simulator (v83), but it continuously shows an error saying “Windows App Runtime 1.5 or higher is required”, even though Windows App Runtime versions 1.1 through 1.8 are already installed and working on my system.

 Meta XR Simulator seems unable to detect the expected 1.5 package structure or registry/runtime signals.

If anyone has encountered this issue or found a workaround (other than downgrading to v82), I’d really appreciate your insights. Thanks in advance.
