I have VS 2022 Community Edition running on Windows 11 ARM under Mac Parallels. It has been working fine for a long time but then this morning I tried to launch the the splash screen comes up for a second and then disappears and it does not launch. There was an upgrade to 17.6 available so I did the update but it did not work. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled but it did not work. I tried several things I found googling including in dev cmd prompt (as admin) doing devenv/resetsettings and devenv /safemode and get the same result. I uninstalled, did an CleanInstall.exe,, then reinstalled but it still doesn't work. I have connected to the live chat and after trying some of the same things they asked me to submit a ticket here. I am dead in the water and cannot get into VS. Can you help? Thanks. Larry Axon

    Hello @Larry Axon ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Please try following and let us know if you can launch VS successfully:

    1. Run CMD as administrator, run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command, wait for it finishes running, run sfc /scannow command.
    2. Close any VS instances, manually remove VS by removing/renaming following folders:
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
        %programdata%\Microsoft\visualstudio\packages
        %Temp% (you may need to reboot your machine before renaming this folder)
        C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_XXXXXXXX
      

    After renaming/removing above folders, try to download a new setup file, put it into the root of the C drive, for example C:\setup.exe, run it as administrator to reinstall VS. Launch VS as administrator.

    1. Make sure that you didn’t modify some configurations on your machine. If you changed any settings before this issue appeared, please try to reset them. Also please make sure that there’s no limitation on your machine, like permission limitations, group policy, antivirus.

    Sincerely,

    Tianyu
