Visual Studio doesnt show errors and projects

Hey, I encountered a small issue with Visual Studio Community 2022 - it doesn't show projects in solution explorer, errors too, and instead of "Start" there is "Attach..." button. (F5 doesn't works, too) I tried reinstalling it and changing project location, but it doesn't help. There also seem to be no answer online and I barely understand why this happens.

What is the contents of your solution file? Hint: look at it in notepad Or other plain text editor

That's an empty solution file for sure What are you trying to do?

I'm trying to follow tutorials... Never had this problem with VS 2019 by the way And also snippets like cw doesn't work

Try and right click on the solution and look for create/add project Nb: I don't know the exact wording I don't typically create projects outside the cli any longer

Do you have windows terminal installed?

Novascar•6mo ago

just start a new solution and use one of the templates to create a project reset the layout of VS Studio to the default

Whenever I see the project not added to the solution by default, it's always an issue with the order of .NET SDKs in the env variables. So make sure, than in your PATH variable, the 64-bit version of the SDK is above the 32-bit version (also, use VS 2022, it's not 2019 anymore)

I tried adding project manually, this is what I get:

Aight 1. Check what SDK is necessary. Open the .csproj in Notepad or some such and take a look there 2. dotnet --list-sdks to see what SDks you have installed 3. dotnet --info for good measure. Post both results here
