Hi @Hmm, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Does it occur in specific project or all C# Console App?

Please make sure that you open a project, not just a .cs file. 

If you have multiple projects in the solution, please go to Solution Explorer > right-click on project node > Set as Startup Project. 

Meanwhile, please check your System Environment variables and ensure that the Path to dotnet: C:\Program Files\dotnet, not C:\Porgram Files (x86)\dotnet.  

If it persists, please share us some screenshots in order to investigate it further. 

Sincerely,

Anna
