    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
