  2. If you use Visual Studio 2022, make sure that you disabled all experimental features.

  3. Clear the Visual Studio cache. Follow this topic for more information: How to Clear Visual Studio Cache.

  4. Make sure that Visual Studio finished all the background processes before you try to create a new application: Visual Studio Background Processes
