Visual Studio 2019: Failure: Could not find a part of the path

Question

When I use vs2019 16.8.4 to build an application,vs2019 will prompt:

Could not write to "obj\Debug".Could not find a part of the path"d:\code\abc\obj\Debug"

But when I press F5 or Ctrl+F5,vs2019 will build success and run application.

I try to change directory or change disk, and the result remains the same.

I try to create a new solution,and the result remains the same.

Everytime when I first press F5 of Ctrl + F5, vs2019 will prompt this error,and when I second press it, everything will be well.

How can I solve it?

Hi @翔 高, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

What is your project type? Are you building your application in Debug or Release configuration?

Please check if you can find the <OutputPath> entry in your .csproj file. If so, please backup and delete it. 

Then, refer to the link: Change the build output directory to reset the Output path. 

Sincerely,

Anna
