Managed to solve the problem by doing the same thing as in the link below, apparently the order of the windows environment variables that was preventing the .NET sdk from working correctly, since even by command line it will not be possible to create applications using .NET

Hello @Jefferson Carvalho ,

Thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

I see the small window on the bottom of left side in the screenshot, can you confirm that the message there means that VS is still loading the ConsoleApp1 project?

Please first try to reboot your machine and directly start VS and open your project, to avoid the impact from other extensions/applications. Another way to confirm this is starting VS under safe mode(run devenv /SafeMode command in Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 Community).

Please also try to create a new folder and save it to root like C:\New Folder. Copy the whole ConsoleApp1 folder which includes ConsoleApp1 folder, ConsoleApp1.sln file and a hidden .vs folder(maybe .vs doesn’t exist) to this new folder. Right-click the .sln file and choose Open With, select Visual Studio 2022 Community, and check if the project can be successfully loaded.

If the same issue persists, please then try following methods to narrow down this issue:

Open VS Installer > More > Repair.

Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 Community > type and run devenv /ResetSettings.

Right-click VS 2022 and run it as administrator.

Try to remove the hidden .vs folder and reopen your project/solution.

If you are using any antivirus, please try to disable it temporarily and test again.

In case the issue is caused by different language in VS, would you mind trying to install the English Pack from VS Installer > Modify > Language packs and open VS, click Tools > Options > Environment > International Settings, change the language to English to confirm it?

Create a new project in VS 2022 and check if the same issue appears again.

If you changed something, for example path/location of VS, please let us know.

Please feel free to let us know if you can successfully load the project this time.

Sincerely,

Tianyu

That didn't fix it, I've tried all the suggestions and the problem remains. I'm using version 17.5 of VS 2022 Community on Windows 11, the problem started after formatting the computer, which previously had the same version of Windows and visual studio and everything worked fine.

Hi @Jefferson Carvalho ,

Thanks for your reply.

May I confirm if ConsoleApp1 application is an existing project that you created before, or it is a incomplete application(created by using VS, but during the creation VS failed to load it)?

If it’s a complete application, could you please try to put and save this project to another drive for example D/E drive, and try to load it in VS again?

If it's an incomplete application, could you please share its file and folder structure with us to check, for example, some screenshots like:

Besides, as newer version of Visual Studio 2022 Community (17.6 Preview 1) has been released, would you mind trying to update VS 2022 Preview Community to the latest version and check again?

Sincerely,

Tianyu

Sorry but it is about time you fix this issue?
After every update I need to adjust the dotnet path to get VS working again, aka move path up on top of the ... (86)\dotnet path
Quite annoying and might prevent less experienced users to update VS in the future

Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition, updated to version 17.7.4 yesterday

Thanks /Peter

Hi @Peter Lykkegaard ,

If you try to directly delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ path, will this issue be fixed?

The mechanism of using the path is if the first path has been scanned then the second path will not be used. So, if you moved it up and the first one is correct then it will work. Since C:\Program Files\dotnet\ path is popular used these days, removing C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ path(not 100% sure, but this path isn’t used these days) worth a try.

Nice solution, yes I can delete the 32bit path, this will prevent me from making 32bit programs, not a requirement atm though
I am quite sure the 32 bit path will be added with the next update!

Please fix the updater!
Thousands of developers face the same issue with each VS update
Read the path into a list, and check if the 64bit path exists, if it does do nothing

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

Could you please directly submit a ticket on our Developer Community - .NET/Developer Community - VS for further investigate?

Oen would assume you'd have enough reports on this particular issue?
It is as old as VS 2022 is

I'm experiencing the same problem. When I try to open an old project, it shows a loading error stating that I don't have Microsoft.Net.SDK.Web. And if I try to create a new project, it's not completely created. Files are missing. I've already done all the steps above and that doesn't help.

Hi @Renato Salvador ,

Please open CMD, run dotnet --info. Make sure that no global.json file exits(if it exists, try to check the settings in it).

Check the version of .NET SDK that you are using.

Open VS Installer => Modify => Individual components => .NET, double confirm that the needed .NET Runtime/SDK has been selected and installed.

Hi Tianyu Sun-MSFT,

I performed the check you requested and the SDKs were installed.

I managed to solve it by downloading the x86 SDK version from the Microsoft website and installing it manually.

I believe that the visual studio installer 2022 has a bug that is not registering the environment variable correctly and therefore Visual studio is not recognizing the installed SDKs.

Thank you for the tip and here's another tip for the community that comes across the same situation as me.
