I have updated to the latest version of visual studio Community Edition（2019 v16.7.5）.
But WPF design interface display is not normal. The form background has a black square, and the properties window becomes black. Changing the visual studio theme can temporarily solve the problem, but once the software is restarted, this will happen again.
I tried to re install windows and visual studio, but I couldn't fix the problem. Later it was found that the problem was the driver of AMD graphics card. When I unloaded the graphics driver, the XAML design interface displayed normally. I will have problems installing any version or the latest version of the graphics driver. I've already fed this back to AMD.

Hi there, thank you for the feedback. Glad to hear that you found the cause of this issue, if you have any update, feel free to let us know. Besides, it seems that this issue is related to AMD graphics and I noticed that you have fed this back to AMD. You can accept your useful reply as answer so that other forum members who have similar issues can easily find and refer to this thread and get more help. Have a nice day :)
Perhaps try disabling the “Optimize rendering […]” and “Automatically adjust […]” options in Environment, General tab of Options dialog (Tools menu).
Also close Visual Studio until Visual Studio Installer finishes its job.
Thank you for your response, but changing these two settings does not solve the problem

Hi there,
Thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.
If you try to create a new WPF project will this issue appear? Please try these troubleshooting steps.
ComponentModelCache folders under this path: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_XXXXX, and delete the hidden .vs, bin and obj folders in the solution(project) folder. After that launch VS2019 and check again.General collection of settings to reset).Sincerely,
