vstest.console.exe error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Question

I have ran my test project from Test Explorer in Visual Studio 2022 and fortunately all tests passed. On the other side I'm trying to use vstest.console.exe to run MyProject.Tests.build.appxrecipe file but it's failing.

The log is the following:

The active test run was aborted. Reason: Unable to communicate with test host process.
Closing app with package full name 'b99a209c-7a2d-42fa-ba34-b16c8dee0379_1.0.0.0_x64__amhbm8v6a514r'.

I just fixed this issue upgrading two package refereces (MSTest.TestAdapter and MSTest.TestFramework) from 2.1.1 version to 2.2.8.
