What errors do you get if you just select the "Build" errors from the drop list (rather than "Build + IntelliSense")? -

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Please try to reset VS(search and run
Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studioin Windows Search box, rundevenv /ResetSettingscommand) and repair VS(from VS Installer, More, Repair).If above two methods don’t work, try to reinstall VS.
