Visual Studio Community 2022 Glitched in Windows 11

Question

    I've reinstalled my windows and thought of upgrading it to w11. All seems to work fine, excepting that defender doesn't work which I don't mind, but Visual Studio Community is glitched like this, I've tried to clean reinstall it multiple times using Revo uninstaller, I updated whatever driver I could but still nothing.  

I've tried to search for this problem on google without success. Anyone any idea how to fix it or what's causing it. Even a little lead would help. Also, what I installed is Desktop apps C/C++ with the default settings.

I've tried: restarting the machine, updating drivers.

Hi @Blind ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Please try the following steps to cleanly uninstall your VS:

1. Manually delete any leftover install and cache folder you previously installed to
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
   %programdata%\Microsoft\visualstudio\packages
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
2. Delete the setup registry key, which was set when you first installed(Maybe there is only one key, please check one by one.):
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
3. Download the new bootstrapper file from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and run it as administrator.
4. Launch it from Visual Studio Installer and check if it works normally.

Sincerely,
Anna
