Visual studio crashes when create/load new project

Question

Hey

For some reason when i try to create a project with Visual studio 2019 (Enterprise edition) it just crashes, managed to create the sln files but then whenever it tries to open it with visual studio it crashes down.

I've tried with .NET core 2.1 and 3.1 but none works.

How can i fix this issue?

Thanks in advance

edit: It doesn't create the SLN files even at some tries.

Answer 1

I would suggest you to reinstall it and see it it solves your problem.

Answer 2

Run VS in safe mode. If it works in safe mode then you have an extension getting in the way.

Could also be a permissions issue. Try saving the solution to a local, simple path that you have write permissions to such as C:\Temp or something.

Temporarily disable AV and see if AV is blocking the request.

Still need help with this;
Tried to re-install several times with different setups / hard drives but to no avail.

I re-installed and tried again with a other hard drive on the same system but does not work;
checked the Windows even viewer and it says the following:

Could this have to do with a concern i had before regarding during startup it says "checking disk chkdsk if you dont want to you can press any button on the keyboard" or something alike.
I've had some BSOD also before but nothing serious (i thought)

Please let me know if you can help.

Hi @Benya ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Have you installed other versions of VS on your computer? And check if the same situation appears or not.

According your information, it seems be caused by your Operating System, please try to update your Windows to the latest version and refer to the following guide to fix your Windows errors:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/deployment/fix-windows-update-errors
Then, run your VS as administrator to try again.

Sincerely,
Anna
