For the last 7 days Visual Studio 2022 no longer shows red squiggles under any errors in the IDE text editor and no errors in the Errors List window. If I try to build it fails and I can see the errors in the Output window, but no errors are listed in the Errors List window. It has also stopped showing or responding to any intellisense commands. I have the Show error squiggles option under Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General, enabled.

I've attached a screenshot and gif showing the problemVS2022 - no errors2

    I experienced the same problem. I had error squiggles in VS Code, but the error squiggles weren't showing in Visual Studio, even though I had all the necessary tools enabled. Then, I found the solution: I had to open the project folder through file ->open -> project/solution -> and then open the .sln file in the project folder. This made the squiggles work right away
