Visual Studio 2022 (Windows) MUAI project does not show iOS simulators

Question

Really hoping someone can help me here. I have done my exhaustive best to resolve the following issue.

In a nutshell; I do not see any iOS simulators for MAUI projects in VS2022 (Windows).

Mac Setup:

I can verify that my VS2022 connects to my Mac;

This is the project type I select & get no iOS simulator;

My Setup; Windows 10, running VS2022;

Strangely: iOS simulators are available when I select an iOS Xamarin project type in VS2022]

Please help. Much appreciated.

These are all the articles I have researched;
