Hello, I apologize right off the bat for my poor level of computer understanding. Here is my issue: i installed Microsoft visual studio 2022, 3 days ago. I started using it (created a project for developing a desktop application), all is good, after like 5hours i wanted to run it to continue but i get the following error message:
Unknown Error.
You may get more informations by examining the file: C: Users/Hp .../ AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/visual studio/17.0..../ activity Log.xml
I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, it worked all good again. But the after day it showed me the same error message.
If anyone came across this problem i hope you'll share with how you fixed it.
NB: i searched for the AppData folder, found it ( it was among the hidden files), then i opened the activityLog file, nothing but my logs there.

You may be biting off more than you can chew by attempting to develop a desktop application with a "poor level of computer understanding". As mentioned, this forum is not the right place for Visual Studio questions. I also would NOT recommend going to StackOverflow, as you will undoubtedly get a quick close with "debugging details required" message there. I think you will do well to post at superuser.com or tenforums.com and be sure to include (i.e. paste) a screenshot of the error(s).
Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
I apologize, Community is just a consumer forum, due to the scope of your question (Visual Studio) can you please post this question to our sister forum on Microsoft Q&A (The Developers Forum) in the Visual Studio section (linked below)
Over there you will have access to a host of programmers and Visual Studio experts and will get a knowledgeable and quick answer to this question.
