I'm using the localdb 2019 that bundled with visual studio 2022. I was using Visual Studio 2019 but because of this problem I switched to 2022. But this problem still exists.

I have a similar problem.... when trying to use SQL Lite and Compact 4.0 in Visual Studio 2022, at first I am able to connect to an sdf database, but as soon as it is connected everything freezes, and a long wait seems to reactivate some options in VS2022 but not all. Just trying to select a table it freezes again and nothing to do or show as the table is selected.
I have the most recent update of VS2022, and trying to find some recommended extansions from Raymond in https://kontext.tech/article/197/d3fa749b20db46b68adb73acee7f2aaf (to install EntityFramework.SqlServerCompact 6.0 and EntityFramework 6.0.) is not possible for those are not found in VS2022 Extensions.
Truly need some specific instructions or have someone from MS to fix this issue.
Have you checked for blocking? Run sp_who2, and check the Blk column. If you see a number in this column, this means that this process is blocking the spid on the column.
If you cannot see any trace of the Visual Studio thing in SQL Server, I guess it is an issue in Visual Studio, in which case you should add a tag for visual-studio.
