Setting UWP Target System

I'm building an UWP application using Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. Everytime I create a new UWP project, I cannot select Target version lower than version 1809. See below pic.

Target version setup dialog

My problem is, my current windows 10 version is 1803, and when I want to update my windows 10 to 1809, I found that 1809 is somehow not available according to this post in windows forum below:

What happen then, when ever I want to design and preview my UWP app, I cannot render all controllers within the page. Like below pic.

My question are:

  1. How can I resolve this besides waiting for update 1809 avail?
  2. Is there anyway I can change the TARGET VERSION of my app? so I can have better experience in coding my app?

Thanks

run VS2017 setup and under individual components install the older SDKs like 16299, 17134 - magicandre1981

If I understand correctly, you have to install older SDK for Min version before you start work.
You can find all versions of it on this page and download them Windows SDK and emulator archive .

for example If you want it to be at least compatible with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update then you should download and install SDK (ver. 10.0.14393.795)
