I can create new and work in projects, I can save them and send them to my instructor and they can open them, but whenever I try to open one of my own projects again I get this:

    Hi

    How are you 'opening' your project? Are you loading Visual Studio and opening from the 'open recent' drop down list, or, 'open project' from the File menu in the VS environment, or, double clicking on the '.sin' file from file explorer, or, some other way. Have you tried all of these?
    You will need to show some code.
    If I asked you to fix my car because it is 'broken' and I don't show you the car, how would you get on :)

    I faced this issue with Node V16.17.0 and azure function core tools V4*

    I used command to trace logs 

    func host start --verbose

    Then I saw in logs that it's trying to download Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle.zip (with some version) to specific folder. In my case it was Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle.2.13.0.zip

    I manually downloaded that file and extracted zip to downloads folder.

    Then I was in logs that before downloading this zip file, It is checking if this file already exists in temp folder or sometimes in users folder. In my case it was C:\Users\<UserID>\.azure-functions-core-tools\Functions\ExtensionBundles\Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle

    I just copied contents from extracted folder to this mentioned location.

    It worked.
