Hi @Gazi Keskin , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Do you have the Arellia privilege management software installed on your machine? 

We received the same feedback from other users before. It may be a potential issue with the VS2022. Could you update your VS2022 to the latest version 17.8.2 and check if it is fixed?

If it persists, please report a problem to product team through Visual Studio. It will include the necessary dumps and information to figure it out. 

After you post it there, please kindly share the post link here so that someone who meets the same issue can refer to it. 

Thanks for your understanding! 

Sincerely,

Anna
