Visual Studio doesn't display the Android emulator run option after the update

I want to share a solution for an issue where, after updating Visual Studio (17.14.0 in my case), the Android Emulator run options stopped appearing in the dropdown list.

The emulator existed and was working, and I tried multiple clean/rebuild attempts with manual file deletions. However, the issue persisted. Interestingly, a newly created MAUI project in the same solution worked fine.

Expected behavior: enter image description here
