Hi @Shoukat Malik ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

What is your project type? If you create a new project, does it disappears?

Please update your VS2022 to the latest version and try again.

If it doesn’t work, please launch your Visual Studio 2022 in Safe Mode(run devenv /SafeMode in Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022).
If it works fine in safe mode, the issue may be caused by the installed extensions. Please temporarily disable or uninstall them under Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed.

Meanwhile, you can also try to repair your VS through Visual Studio Installer > More > Repair.

Sincerely,
Anna

According to https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Inside-one-file-only-characters-are-pri/10085482 and https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/In-visual-studio-2022-pressing-a-key-w/10082551, try uninstalling the "GitHub Copilot" extension. (Use "Manage Extensions" command from Extensions menu).
