Hi @Gabrielo ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Is this the first time that you install and open VS 2022? Or VS 2022 worked well before? If this is the first time that you open VS 2022, could you share the steps that you took to install VS 2022? And was the installation process finished without any error prompted?
Please try following suggestions currently:
devenv /ResetSettings in Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022.(/ResetSettings)Best Regards,

sorry it didnt work also ive never gotten vs 2022 to work before ive changed versions and pcs also i tried to even downgrade to 2019 on this pc and it still didnt work (think 2019 was the last version that worked before) on another pc so idk if its something to do with my pc or what..
May I ask, if you click the File button, will it list several options? And if so, if you choose Open > Project/Solution or New > Project and follow the wizard, will the existing/newly created project be loaded? Besides, is there any third-party extension and antivirus software installed and running on your machine?
if you choose file the options come up and if you make a new one it works fine but i cant open my projects from the internet that uploaded there i dont know if it would work if i managed to find another copy of it and opened it then also i dont have any extension and i do have antivirus it is karspesky anti virus
Sounds like VS can’t recognize and load your project. Do your projects include a .sln file and include some .xxproj files(a complete VS project structure)? Besides, are there any components or files missing in your projects?
i mean every thing should be there ive tried multibe projects and none of them load there shouldent be anything missing but right now im trying to load online projects and it isnt working im sure it used to on older version but on a pc that dosent work anymore either
It’s a little strange, even if VS can’t load the project, it should prompt errors instead of only displaying a blank screen. If all the steps(to load projects) are correct, and the project loaded well before on VS 2019 and on another machine, then I suspect the environment on your machine(this machine) may affect it. Could you share the steps that you load the project and could you try to disable antivirus software temporarily and reboot the machine to load the project again?
what i do is load vs click on clone repo select the one i want to clone then click clone then it just loads in a black screen even is karspesky is disabled wouldent think that would make a difference since that anti virus was active on my last pc im pretty sure too its very werid
Hi @Gabrielo , if you change to Git Changes window(View > Git Changes), and click Clone Repository… or from VS menu > Git > Clone Repository… to clone the repo, will the repo load well? Besides, are Open folder in Solution Explorer when opening a Git repository and Automatically load the solution when opening a Git repository options selected in Tools > Options > Source Control > Git Global Settings?
it dosent matter where i press clone repo same thing happens, also those options are already checked, so dont know what to do now
Hi @Gabrielo , I think, we may need to confirm if the project has been successfully cloned into the default directory. Could you help to check and confirm this(the default directory should be C:\Users\[username]\Source\Repos )? If the repo hasn’t been cloned to the directory, will the issue caused by some limitations from network, GitHub, or local environment? BTW, you can try to update VS 2022 to the latest version.
well most of my projects are on azure and not git hub i tried to load something from github and it ended up actually loading but the files dont appear there everything i try get from azure nothing happens when i click load but the github one loaded up fine i dont have much projects at all on my github because there all on azure i dont know if anything on my network is causing it but i switched to mobile internet and i dont think it helped any i updated it to latest im even on some preview one and it still dosent work so idk
Maybe you need to open the project/solution to see it? Let’s see if this doc helps: Open a Visual Studio solution from a cloned repo.

Tianyu
well it didnt show up there on that list but i think i fixed it i changed the plugin from git to visual studio and then loaded it again then it had option to clone and i think it works now so yeah
Happy to hear that. If you meet other VS related issues in the future, please feel free to contact us.
Have a great day.

Tianyu
