Hi @Bharat Devarakonda , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Could you successfully launch your Visual Studio 2022 in Safe Mode (run devenv /SafeMode in Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022)? 

If your VS2022 works fine in safe mode, it may be caused by the installed extensions. You can disable or uninstall the installed extensions under Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed.  

Besides, you can close all running VS instances and rename (or delete) every ComponentModelCache folders under this path: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_XXXXX. Then, re-run VS as administrator.  

You can update your VS2022 to the latest version with Visual Studio Installer and launch vs again. 

If you have any anti-virus software or security/privilege management software, please temporarily disable them and try again. 

Sincerely,

Anna
