Having trouble with VS 2022

Question

I'm having some odd problems with VS 2022 Version 17.9.5. After the update there are a number of behaviors that are plaguing me...

#1 - If I have a project open and need to switch to a new project... from the file menu I select "Close Solution". Which then kicks me to the Open / Create dialog. If I choose to select another project in the quick link list, I select a different project, and it opens the project, but just for a brief second, and then inexplicably closes and reopens the previous project and I am back where I begain!

#2 - I use Azure Devops for Code mangement. I work from multiple inter-office locations. I am dilligent about pulling and pushing changes before walking away from a device. Recently, I was looking for a change that should have been synced to both machines. Unfortunately neither machine was showing a GIT change. and the source on Devops did not reflect any changes. I checked both devices, neither was showing any outstanding edits... I forced a sync on both devices and the changes appeared. This also manifested in a new problem... pulling up code and compiling has become laborious. Things that compile on one machine throw errors on another despite all the code files being up-to-date. The only fix is to physically wipe out the project bin file... thoughts?

Hi @UtterlyInsane, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

#1. According to your description, I tried to reproduce your issue. On my side, if I select another project to open, it will open correctly.

If you want to open a different project, you can also try clicking on File menu > Open > Project/Solution.

Besides, please open the Visual Studio Installer > More > Repair vs.

Then, launch your Visual Studio 2022 in Safe Mode (run devenv /SafeMode in Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022) and check that it works properly. 

#2. Regarding this issue, you need to report it in Azure DevOps forum for help. Thanks for your understanding! 

Sincerely,

Anna
