    Hi @Richa ,

    Have you installed some third party extensions? Please temporarily disable or uninstall them.
    Meanwhile, you can also try to repair your Visual Studio Build Tools 2019 by opening Visual Studio Installer > More > Repair.

    If it persists, please provide us with more installation logs. You could download and run this collect.exe tool, go to %temp% folder and find the vslogs.zip file, upload it to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
