Issue Description

After upgrading the NuGet packages on my very simple UI test sample project (see image), I can no longer run UI tests.

Running the tests through the Visual Studio (2022) Test Explorer, I receive the following result:

  Message: 
System.AggregateException : One or more errors occurred.

Steps to Reproduce

Clone my repo, build the project, and attempt to run tests via Visual Studio Test Explorer

As a follow-up, I tried reverting the updated NuGet packages one by one, and found that it was the update of the SpecFlow.Actions.WindowsAppDriver that is the culprit.

If I downgrade the SpecFlow.Actions.WindowsAppDriver to v0.1.177, the tests work again.

Going to the SpecFlow.Actions.WindowsAppDriver v0.1.350 causes this issue.

Is there something I am missing in order to get these tests working again?
