This looks basically exactly the same as #7532. There was a bug in the OS that caused some shadows to be at the wrong z-order. I believe that's fixed in OS builds >=22000. Thanks!

@zadjii-msft I'm aware that for Win 11 users they can simply update to the newest build. But is there a solution for Windows 10 users?

Alas, not that I'm aware of. There was a huge pile of bugfixes for XAML in the Windows 10->11 era, but IIRC this one was more like a bug that got accidentally fixed by a new OS feature, and that feature would have a hard time getting backported. Sorry about that 😕
