Possibly a very hacky way of doing it, is to set the x:Name property on the NavigationViewItem and then use (assign) it in the code behind.

NavView.SelectedItem = xNameOfItem;

you set an index not an item. Try this => you need to add using System.Linq;

using System.Linq;
NavView.SelectedItem = NavView.MenuItems.ElementAt(YourIndex);

=> If you want to select the SettingsItem

NavView.SelectedItem = NavView.SettingsItem;
