Visual Studio 2022 recently started (for absolutely no reason) displaying the following message(s) at the top of the Visual Studio 2022 window:

Feature 'Diagnostic analyzer runner' is currently unavailable due to an internal error.

Similar messages are displayed for many other features (the list is endless!). This started happening for no reason, I did not change (or even open) the settings or preferences, I did not create (or even edit) any files, I did not install any updates, I barely used my computer. Here is a screenshot of the messages:

If I close all the files, it sometimes lets me click the X on the right to get rid of the messages, but then they come back when I reopen the files. What is the problem? I have not tried to repair Visual Studio 2022 (that is, in my opinion, a last resort, since it doesn't always fix the problem). I currently have:

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit)
Version 17.0.4

Visual Studio
Visual Studio
A family of Microsoft suites of integrated development tools for building applications for Windows, the web and mobile devices.
