Visual Studio 2022 Fails to Load Designer for VB

Question

I have a fresh new install of Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 11 and developing under VB. I have loaded the module SplashScreen into my new project. This loads fine. But when I attempt to run or load the Designer it fails. I have updated Visual Studio to version 17.1.1 the latest version and I am running .NET framework Version 4.8.04161

When I attempt to load Designer I get the following Error. I am not sure how to fix Visual Studio or how to repair it so that Designer will run.
