The Visual Studio Installer cannot be opened and cannot be deleted through the Control Panel, but Visual Studio can be opened normally.I need to select two options related to Unity game development in the Visual Studio Installer so that I can use Unity.

    Hello, could you try to run the vs_installershell.exe file to launch your Visual Studio Installer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer?

    If it doesn’t work, we suggest you remove the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer. Then, re-download the bootstrapper file from the following Microsoft Site and run it as administrator to reinstall the Visual Studio Installer.
