    Hi @connor_animate

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    By default, the VS2019 is installed at the location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\version. 

    If you have changed its installation location, you can check it by going to the Visual Studio installer > Modify > Installation locations tab. 

    You can launch your VS2019 and select “Open a project or solution” to open your .sln file.

    If it doesn’t work, please check your System environment variables if there are two paths to dotnet.

    C:\Program Files\dotnet

    C:\Porgram Files (x86)\dotnet

    If so, please delete this one: C:\Porgram Files (x86)\dotnet.

    Then, restart your PC and open your project again. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
