I have an issue with my VS. It says that it cant see the Microsoft.NET SDK. When i create and open the projects it cant find the projects' files, but when I open the explorer I can see it. Also I tried to repair the VS through the VS installer and nothing changed.

Hello @Анастасия Андреева,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Please first close VS => search Edit environment variables for your account in Windows Search box and open Environment Variables window => in System variables click Path => click Edit => search and check if both C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ and C:\Program Files\dotnet exist => select C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and click Move Up button on the right to move it up to locate higher than C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ => restart VS and reopen your solution.
Besides, please try to update VS. Here are some other suggestions for you to refer to: The SDK Microsoft.NET.Sdk specified could not be found…
BTW, if you try to create a project locally, save it in another clean folder, not under OneDrive subfolders, will the same issue appear?
Please feel free to let us know the results.
Sincerely,
Tianyu

Hi @Анастасия Андреева,
May I know if this error disappeared after you moved C:\Program Files\dotnet up to locate higher than C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet? Please don’t forget to restart VS after you modify the environment variables.
I done all that you said and nothing changed. I installed VS 2019 and code work correctly. VS 2022 can open and run my projects from VS 2019 but 2019 cant do the same with 2022. I moved up the path and nothing changed. I saved the project in the empty folder and still nothing changed and the latest version is installed. IDK what do I need to do with that
Hi @Анастасия Андреева,
Thanks for your reply.
Here are some other suggestions, please try them too:
1.Navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_XXXXXXXX folder and rename ComponentModelCache folder.
2.Check if a global.json file exists(in your solution folder), it may include additional settings for .NET SDK. If it exist, remove it or reinstall the corresponding .NET SDK mentioned in suggestion 3.
3.Install .NET SDK that you want manually and separately from here: Download .NET.
4.Repair VS(VS Installer > More > Repair) and reboot your machine.
Regards,
Tianyu
