Hi Samida,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum. 

To effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues related to the .NET SDK, it is advisable to undertake the following steps:

1.Verify the Installation Directory: It is essential to confirm that the .NET SDK is installed in its default directory, typically located at "C:\Program Files\dotnet".

2.Review the System's Path Variable: Navigate to the system environment variables through the Start Menu > Control Panel > Edit system environment variables > Environment Variables. Subsequently, select the "Path" variable from the System variables section and edit it. If the specified path, such as "C:\Program Files\dotnet", is absent, it should be added manually using the provided screenshots as a guide.

1. 3.Identify Multiple SDK Versions: In cases where multiple versions of the .NET SDK are installed, it is crucial to ensure that the version being utilized aligns with the one set in the path variable.

By diligently following these steps, it is anticipated that the encountered issues can be effectively addressed and resolved.
