The SDK 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk' specified could not be found. in Visual Studio Community 2022 version 17.5

Raihanudin Rafif 35

Since Visual Studio 2022 updated from version 17.4 to 17.5, I couldn't load my project. and get the error "The SDK 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk' specified could not be found." But if the project was opened in version 17.4, the project was loaded successfully.

Hello @Raihanudin Rafif ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Please first confirm that .NET SDK has been checked in VS Installer > Modify > Individual components > .NET > .NET SDK. If it isn’t checked, please check it and click Modify.

Please then create a new .NET based project and check if the same error appears, if the same error appears, please try following to narrow down this issue:

Reboot your machine and restart VS.
Repair Visual Studio from VS Installer > More > Repair.
Reset VS settings(run Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2022 > run devenv /ResetSettings).

If the same error doesn’t appear, then please try following:

Right-click your project > Unload Project > confirm that the <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> line exists > right-click your project again > Reload Project. Open VS Installer > Modify > Individual components > .NET > make sure that .NET SDK has been checked, if not, check it and click Modify.
Remove the hidden .vs, bin and obj folders in your solution/project folder and rebuild your project in VS.

Please feel free to let us know if this issue disappears.

Best Regards,

Tianyu

@Tianyu Sun-MSFT I have the same problem, though the steps you outlined do not resolve it. I continue to have the issue even with a new project. What else can be done to diagnose/resolve? Thank you

Hi @Ashley Griggs ,

Please search Edit the system environment variables in Windows Search box and click Environment Variables… button, under the System variables, select Path and click Edit…

Confirm if both C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ paths exist. If both of them exist, please leave C:\Program Files\dotnet\ before C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\. You can select C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and click Move Up button to move it up.

If you are using any extension/antivirus, please try to disable them temporarily and reboot your machine then test again.

If above suggestions still don’t work, please try to reinstall VS and check again.
