Button IsEnabled property in Windows Platform

[jcmontoya]

Description

When I set up the Button's "IsEnabled" property, programmatically. The expected behavior is working in all platforms. However, the formatting of the button in the Windows Platform gets lost after a couple of changes. In the Android platform it works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Maui App
2. Add a Grid and a StackLayout with two buttons
3. Disable of the buttons by setting IsEnabled="False"
4. Add code to programmatically change the is enabled property.

    <Grid  BackgroundColor="Black">
          <StackLayout  Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="Center">
            <Button x:Name="btn1" Text="Start" WidthRequest="100" Background="Green" Clicked="btn1_Clicked"></Button>
            <Button x:Name="btn2" Text="Stop" WidthRequest="100" Background="Green" Clicked="btn2_Clicked" IsEnabled="False"></Button>
        </StackLayout>
    </Grid>

   private void btn1_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        btn1.IsEnabled = false;
        btn2.IsEnabled = true;
    }

    private void btn2_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        btn1.IsEnabled = true;
        btn2.IsEnabled = false;
    }

5.Click on the buttons a couple of times to enable and disable them. After the first cycle both buttons will look disabled. the functionality will still be working but it is confusing for the user. This only happens in windows, not in Android or IOS.

I am also experiencing this same issue on Windows builds. This appears to be happening on Windows 10 in addition to Windows 11 (as reported by @jcmontoya).

this also never really worked well in XF, so there I used VisualStateManager to change the IsEnabled property and here the change always worked. But in MAUI VisualStateManager is broken (#8003), so I can't use it.

Has anyone found a working way to change button states correctly?
