After creating the console project, did you make any changes to the properties of the project?

If you click on the down arrow next to Attach are there other options?

I downloaded Visual studio 2022 recently and right from the start it's giving me this problem, I haven't changed any settings

Can you create a GitHub repository and upload the entire code base?

Try the following which is to see if the project will run at all

Right click on the project name in Solution Explorer

Select Open in terminal and wait for a command prompt

Type dotnet run -> does the project run?

Hello @Allas Martins ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Can you confirm that if your projects have been successfully loaded in VS? You can verify this by checking the Solution Explorer, if there’s no project/file listed in Solution Explorer, then probably your projects are not loaded correctly.

If project didn’t load correctly, please first try to remove the hidden .vs folder in your solution folder(back up it before you remove it, just in case), and then right-click the .sln file > Open With > Microsoft Visual Studio 2022.

Please also try to search Edit the system environment variables in Windows Search box > select and open it > click Environment Variables… > under System variables select Path > click Edit… > find C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ > Use Move Up and Move Down button on the right to make sure that C:\Program Files\dotnet\ lists before C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ > reboot your machine and restart VS.

If above suggestions don’t work, please try following:

1. Repair and update VS from VS Installer.
Reset VS settings(open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 XXX > run devenv /ResetSettings).

Please feel free to let us know if it works.

Sincerely,

Tianyu
