Hi Guillaume,

Sorry to hear you're having troubles with vs'2 Community. Here are a few steps to help:

Start by checking the Reset Settings, user settings can cause UI issues. Try resetting your vs settings.

Go to Tools > Import and Export Settings > Reset all settings.

Check if there are any extensions installed as these can cause conflictions, consider uninstalling or updating them.

Ensure you're using the latest version of vs'22 Community. Microsoft regularly releases updates that fix bugs and improve performance. Go to Help > Check for Updates to see if there are any available.

To close it all off off, consider Reinstalling

Download the latest version from the website and install it again.

Check the Output Window

Open the Output window (typically at the bottom) and select Show output from: Build. There might be some clues or errors there that could point you in the right direction.

Lastly, if you still can't resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Microsoft's official support channels or the Visual Studio Community forums for more specialized assistance.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your projects!

Hi,@guillaume chapoutot. Welcome Microsoft Q&A.

Here are some steps you could take to troubleshoot the issue:

Refresh Solution Explorer: Sometimes, the Solution Explorer might not update automatically. Try right-clicking on the solution in the Solution Explorer and selecting "Refresh."

Check Filter and Project View Options: Make sure that you have not applied any filters or project view options that could hide the files. In Solution Explorer, look for the "Filter" and "Project View" dropdowns at the top of the window and ensure that they are set correctly.

Check Project Files: Open the project folder in Windows File Explorer and verify that the expected files (MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs) actually exist in the project folder. If they are missing, you might have encountered an issue during project creation.

Reload Project: Right-click on the solution in the Solution Explorer and select "Reload Project." This can sometimes help refresh the Solution Explorer's view of the project files.

Reset Visual Studio Settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting Visual Studio settings to default. Go to "Tools > Import and Export Settings" and choose to reset the settings.

Reopen Visual Studio: Sometimes, simply closing and reopening Visual Studio can resolve minor glitches or display issues.

Create a New Project: If the problem persists, you might consider creating a new C# WPF project from scratch and checking if the issue occurs again. This could help determine if the problem is specific to your current project.

Repair Installation: If none of the above steps work, it's possible that there might be an issue with your Visual Studio installation. Try repairing the installation using the Visual Studio Installer.

Hi, thanks for your answer, i've followed it but the problem remains.

My vs is updated (17.6.5), i have already uninstal it many times, i've tried to reset general parameters too. But in any ways, i've make the "basical" installation and i havent change any settings after that.

Nothing works =/.

And i have a other problem : when i luanch my program, it ask me with what i want attach my process.

My old laptop dont ask me that.

It's maybe a problem with my register/setting of my computer?

I have a W11.

Thanks.

Hi,@ guillaume chapoutot .Do you have a group policy setting on your computer or not? You could try to set the following steps to see if it works.

Please try the following:

Run you Registry Editor as administrator

Open the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

find the ‘NoRecentDocsHistory’ value

Double-click on it to Change the value data from 1 to 0.

re-launch your VS and check if the recent projects show or not.
