Export to UWP does nothing

I a trying to export my project ot test run it on my xbox. I have devkit mode running on xbox as well. follow all official tutorials. but Unity doesn’t generate, well…anything. it goes through the whole exporting (about 5 minutes) and when I open the folder i am exporting to, It’s empty.

i do have a notice on the build settings window that says:
“Selected visual studio is missing required component and may not be able to build the generated project…etc etc”

Where can I get this component?

i just realized i need a unity pro account. can someone confirm this? I saw the blog posts on 3rd party websites, but is this official?
