IIS - AppPool StartMode changing by itself

On my developer machine, amongst my 10 websites and their respective application pools, three of them are very frequently getting setted to startMode = Always running.
I have to reset them to OnDemand regularly and I cannot find the root cause of this.
Apps are coded in C# using .Net5 and hosted on IIS 10
Below is an exemple log from the Event Logs showing the change

Service Fabric Application doesn't register and run the Actor

I am developing APIs with Service Fabric into a big solution. After I created the services I needed (an Actor, a stateful and a stateless with .NET Framework) and I made a walking skeleton of the APIs.
I started to test and service fabric always threw the error "Service does not exist" (I'm 100% sure that the uri was right) when was the time to call the Actor (same error with both ActorProxyFactory and ActorProxy). I wathced on Cluster Explorer and under my SF App there was only the other two service. But the ActorServiceType was registered.
So I decide to create two simple SF app with an actor and I got the same error and also I don't see them on Cluster explorer.
In no projects I touched the ServiceManifest, ApplicationManifest or whatelse.
Here the versions of the tools I use:
Windows 11 Enterprise
Visual Studio Enterprise v16.11.9 with .Net Framework 4.7.1
Service Fabric Runtime 8.1.321.9590
Serive Fabric SDK 5.1.321.9590
Nuget Microsoft.SerivceFabric 8.1.321
Nuget Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Actors 5.1.321 (For the nuget packages I tried everything)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Azure.Fabric.MSBuild 1.7.6 (also this I tried
every version)

The solution of this problem found on this github issue with a step-by-step guide.
In few words if you have more than installation of Visual Studio (2019 and 2022) a service fabric package cache go in conflict.

VS Generated WSDL Namespace Issues

Good Afternoon,
We have been trying to consume a Carrier API, but have hit some issue with the WSDL Generation. The Example XML message the company has provided has ns1-3 and appears that it is important for the address fields. the XML generated from their WSDL seems to generate the same fields but has no name spaces like the original and fails with "Address details are invalid", Is there some setting we are missing so that it generates the correct XML?
This is their Example XML

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is resolved,
I could not figure out a way to change or add additional namespace to the generated references.cs file, and ended up sending the SOAP to their server manually with an XML string serialized using a httpWebRequest and XmlSerializer

keep getting ERR.SWS.CLIENT.VALIDATION_FAILED exception when calling PassengerDetailsRQ

I am using Sabre SOAP Api in C#. I got the response from session creation successfully, I added wsdl Service Reference

For this one you seem to be using invalid service version for the 3.2 namespace. Try with something like this:
*xmlns="http://services.sabre.com/sp/pd/v3_2"* and *version="3.2.0"*.
You were using version 2.2.1 here which will require a different URL.
Are you intending to use 3.2.0 version? I can see that the dates are not valid as per the schema as well. You have:
*DateOfBirth="02/02/1998"*
but should have:
*DateOfBirth="1998-02-02"*

Passing XML multi level data as parameter and using in stored procedure

I have XML format data which I will pass from a .net application.
In the SQL Server stored procedure, this data is passed in as a XML parameter. I want to read and save the data in the required tables, say TblOrder and TblItem.
In XML, there will be multiple orders. Each order contains one or several items accordingly.
Structure on which operation need to be implemented:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Orders>
<Order>
<B2>B2**ABIJ**0000884443**PP</B2>
<CreateBy null="true" />
<CreateDate>/Date(1485150414358)/</CreateDate>
<CurrencyId>1</CurrencyId>
<CustomerId>13</CustomerId>
<DeliveryAddress>LIBERTY PRESS LLC</DeliveryAddress>

<DeliveryCityId>0</DeliveryCityId>

<DeliveryId>14</DeliveryId>

<ItemName>Item A</ItemName>
<Length null="true" />
<Make null="true" />
<Mass null="true" />
<MassUnit null="true" />
<Model null="true" />
<OrderId>0</OrderId>
<PIP>false</PIP>
<PilotCar>false</PilotCar>
<ReeferTemp null="true" />
<Tarp>false</Tarp>
<TrailerType null="true" />
<TruckType null="true" />
<VIN null="true" />
<Width null="true" />
<Year null="true" />
</Item>
</Items>
<L11>L11*SYL884443*BM</L11>
<LastUpdate>/Date(1485150414358)/</LastUpdate>
</Order>
<Order>
...
<Items>
<Item>
...
</Item>
</Order>
</Orders>
Steps I want to achieve are:
Read XML parameter from the stored procedure, which is passed from the .net application.
Loop through the XML and save data in the TblOrder and TblItem tables
Going through the article follows :
Pass-XML-parameter-to-Stored-Procedure
How to loop and parse xml parameter in sql server stored procedure
I got the Idea to access very first level (in my case Order of Orders).
Moving forward having issue accessing the second level which will be again a collection (in my case Item of Items of Order).
Thanks in advance for your support

You have two approaches:
You can pass the XML as-is into a Stored Procedure and do all the hard work in T-SQL
You can shredd the XML within C#, fill appropriate data objects and use classical data storage.
From your question I take, that you'd prefer to pass this into a stored procedure as XML parameter. There are some things to know:
C# uses 16-bit-unicode internally and so does SQL Server's XML. But you will not be able to cast this unicode string to XML as long as there is encoding="UTF-8" included... You might pass this as VARCHAR(MAX) (not NVARCHAR(MAX)!), but this could lead you in troubles if there are sepcial characters involved. Best was, to cut the first line (the <?xml ...?> declaration) away completely.
Your XML is not created correctly. Is this under you control? If you include null="true" (there's no need for normally!), you should do this with the xsi-namespace. And date/time values within XML should be ISO8601. Your values (like /Date(1485150414358)/) are no format SQL Server will be able to cast directly...
Nevertheless I see multi <Order>-elements and multi <Item>-elements. You could read them as follows:
DECLARE #xml XML=
N'<Orders>
<Order>
<B2>B2**ABIJ**0000884443**PP</B2>
