    I had the same and it seems, sometime ComponentModelCache corruption kills it.

    Simply remove it. Follow this below from another thread...

    Please try to rename/remove this "ComponentModelCache" folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_<InstanceID>\ComponentModelCache, restart VS and check if it works.

    Hi @Adi zab

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Please have a try with the following workarounds:

    1. Check the system requirement of VS 2022 and ensure you have the latest service pack and critical updates for the versions of Windows that you are running.
    2. Launch your Visual Studio 2022 in Safe Mode (run devenv /SafeMode in Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022). If your VS works fine in safe mode, it needs to consider if the installed extensions affect or not.
    3. Restart PC and rename the folder: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon\OnlineLicensing\VisualStudio.
    4. If you have any anti-virus software or security management software, please temporarily disable it. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
