Hello @shivani dubey,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Are you using/installing the latest version of Visual Studio 2022?

This issue seems to be a known issue(before) and has been fixed, see this thread: Visual Studio 2022 does not start.

Please search Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2022 in Windows Search box, open it and run devenv /ResetSettings command.

If it doesn’t work, please try to manually remove VS by deleting following folders and Registry keys(please backup Registry keys before removing them):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio

%programdata%\Microsoft\visualstudio\packages

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup

After that download a new VS setup file, reinstall VS.

Best Regards,

Tianyu
