Visual Studio 2022 Crash on Startup and Potential .NET Framework Issue

Hello,

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with Visual Studio 2022 crashing on startup. After several attempts, this sometimes even leads to a blue screen. I've ruled out hardware problems and performed multiple reinstallation attempts, including formatting my C: drive and reinstalling everything from scratch. After a fresh install with only Visual Studio installed, the issue still persists.

I noticed that the current version of the Windows 10 image I'm using comes with .NET Framework 4 pre-installed, which seems to have serious issues. However, I’m unsure if I can reinstall it. The uninstallation and reinstallation tools provided by Microsoft don’t seem to work for it. The only solution I can think of is to completely delete the directory in Safe Mode and then try reinstalling it. But I’m concerned that directly deleting the directory might cause registry issues and prevent the installation of a new version.

Here are some error details:

  • Faulting Application Name: devenv.exe
  • Version: 17.10.35004.147
  • Timestamp: 0x665f904f
  • Faulting Module Name: clr.dll
  • Version: 4.8.9195.0
  • Timestamp: 0x64e92534
  • Exception Code: 0xc0000409
  • Fault Offset: 0x0000000000191abd
  • Faulting Process ID: 0x45f4
  • Faulting Application Start Time: 0x01dabedbd07d98d8
  • Faulting Application Path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
  • Faulting Module Path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\clr.dll
  • Report ID: bae586ba-014f-46be-88da-989d592923e2

Here is my device information:

  • Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900KF
  • RAM: 64.0 GB
  • Graphics Card: GTX 4090
  • Operating System: Windows 10, Version 22H2 (installed using the latest official tool from the Microsoft website)

Any assistance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

    I'm happy to report that the issue has been resolved after updating my BIOS. It appears that the problems were caused by compatibility issues between Windows 10 version 22H2 and my Intel i9-13900KF processor.

    Updating the BIOS seems to have fixed the crashing and blue screen issues I was experiencing with Visual Studio 2022. It looks like this was an old compatibility problem that has now been addressed with the latest BIOS update.
