Hi,
I have upgraded my Visual Studio 2022 to the latest version 17.6.1. Since then when I try to Run\Build project it hangs and I cant do anything to cancel the build except by ending VS from task manager. Please help. This is critical and I cant continue my development.
Thanks
I had to revert to 17.5.1 due to roslyn and charp start up issues . Repair failed, now I can't try the new copilot. Lost a whole day of work, which means sleep...
This is crazy , I lost whole day of work as well . What helpeded in my case is to create new solution and re impot all projects to the new solution.
Did you try later 17.5.X? I am having the same issue and want to make sure I waste less time if possible :)
See follow-up answer below - I think the "solution" is reinstalling VS, and that something happens with VS that causes this error.
Hello @samer.alisaleh ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
I suggest you try to remove the hidden .vs folder(in solution folder) and the ComponentModelCache folders in this directory: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_XXXXXXXX.
If it doesn’t work, please try to revert to a previous version of VS 2022, for example 17.5.4/17.5.5 as a temporary workaround, and report this issue on our Developer Community for further investigate.
Besides, the issue @kurtd mentioned, is fixed and pending release, see this thread: RoslynPackage fails to initialize due to SettingsEditorFactory dependency error for details.
Best Regards,
Tianyu

See my answer below - it seems that something happens with VS, and upgrading/rolling back "fixes it" by clearing out VS.
Rolling back a version solved my problem for the time being (and copilot seems to be working even though I'm a .1 version lower than what it claims to support. I can't afford to risk losing another day of productivity, but thank you Tianyu I will try your solution as soon as I get breathing room and work up the guts to upgrade to the latest...
I wonder, given the fact it seems to have happened on numerous versions, if you might be able to avoid the pain by clearing out the cache directories in 17.xxx? Worse comes to worse you have to rollback regardless.
tl;dr: This is an overall issue with Visual Studio, NOT a specific version.
So my coworker was having this issue (specifically that when he ran his .Net 6 web project, then stopped it, he couldn't clean/rebuild, nor in any way delete the created exe file, without restarting his machine). He was on 17.6.1. I downloaded the project, and ran into the same issue. I was on 17.5.3. I saw this note and @Tianyu Sun-MSFT response, and thought "OK, I'll upgrade to 17.4 or 17.5". I couldn't do that, so I figured I'd upgrade to 17.6.1, still have the problem, and roll back.
However, after installing 17.6.1 - everything worked fine. I mentioned this to my coworker, and eh said he had had a similar experience when he initially upgraded to 17.6.1. SO I am thinking that this is a Visual Studio issue, "solved" by upgrading/rolling back because it cleans out whatever is causing the issue in the first place, NOT by anything specific to a specific version.
