How to deal with failing to install Win11SDK_10.0.22621 and Win11SDK_WindowsPerformanceToolkit by VS 2022

Question

I encountered a problem while installing VS 2022 today. I was unable to install Win11SDK_10.0.22621 and Win11SDK_WindowsPerformanceToolkit.

My error log is as follows:

I suspect it's because there were remnants left from uninstalling an older version of VS. How should I resolve this issue? Thank you!

Hello @xuanjiu ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Please try to remove following two packages(folders) and repair VS. The two folders(ProgramData is a hidden folder, you may need to let it display by checking the View, hidden items option in Windows File Explorer) are

F:\VS\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Pacakges\Win11SDK_10.0.22621,version=10.0.22621.5,productarch=neutral and

F:\VS\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Pacakges\Win11SDK_WindowsPerformanceToolkit,version=10.0.22621.2,productarch=neutral.

If it doesn’t work, please try to remove following folders and reinstall VS 2022.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio

%programdata%\Microsoft\visualstudio\packages

Best Regards,

Tianyu
