Hi, I am in the Windows Insider program. I also use Visual Studio 2019 the latest released version for creating C# Windows Forms applications. I am currently using Windows 10 21H2 preview build. Last night I updated Windows 21H2 to build 21390.1010. After updating, I opened my Visual Studio projects, but after just 5 seconds of use. The project just hangs and starts saying Not Responding. Below is the image:

    Could be a hardware issue that occured at the same time but before jumping to those scenarios try this.

    Please try following steps to completely uninstall VS.

    Follow this document: Remove Visual Studio and use the InstallCleanup.exe tool:

    Close the Visual Studio Installer > Type cmd in the Type here to search box > Right-click Command Prompt, and choose Run as administrator > enter the command line like ”C:\Program File (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe” -i

    After that, please try to reinstall VS 2019 from here: Downloads.

    If the InstallCleanup.exe tool doesn’t exist, please try to delete Visual Studio IDE installation folder manually and remove the VS IDE from Control Panel and then reinstall VS again.
