Description

I noticed that the slider renders nothing on Windows after upgrading to 4.5.2. It works on version 4.4.2.

Then I try to use the example app to see if it's my setup causing the problem.

But the example app does not work on Windows. I follow the readme to run example app and it throws error "RNCViewPager" was not found in the UIManager.. It seems react native view pager fails to autolink in RNW. So I went ahead and delete the references related to the view pager since I was just testing slider itself. This time the app runs, but the slider renders nothing, no handle to grab and no track to see.

I start example app by:
cloning the repo -> npm install -> npm run example-windows.

Reproducible Demo

Just run example app in Windows 11.

Same issue on Windows 10. No rendering no errors.

@react-native-community/slider: 4.5.2
react-native: "0.74.6
react-native-windows: 0.74.26,

import React from 'react';
import {
  AppRegistry,
  View,
} from 'react-native';

import Slider from '@react-native-community/slider';

const App = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(15);

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, padding: 40 }}>
      <View style={{ width: 400, height: 100 }}>
        <Slider
          value={value}
          disabled={false}
          step={1}
          minimumValue={1}
          maximumValue={30}
          onValueChange={setValue}
          style={{ width: 400, height: 80 }}

    </View>
  );
};

AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyApp', () => App);

When setting height into defaultSlider start it to be visible also on Windows

// @react-native-community\slider\src\utils\styles.ts 
defaultSlider: { height: Platform.OS === 'windows' ? 30 : 40 },

Style is build in prepare into @react-native-community\slider\dist\utils\styles.js. So i actually add height into this file to test this.
