Visual Studio 2022：VS 启动时“任务列表”window 为空

Question

Found several similar questions for older VS versions, some especially mentioning C++. I'm getting the effect with C# as well as VB.Net projects in Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Version 17.3.3

Steps to reproduce:

• Open a new VS2022 IDE instance
• "Create new Project", say type "ASP.Net Core Web App (C#)" or a "Console App (Visual Basic)"
• Open the View -> "Task List" window
• Open any code file, eg WebApplication1\Pages\Index.cshtml.cs
• In C# add a line

    //TODO: find this in the IDE's "Task List" window // in the OnGet() event handler
    ' Or TODO: something ' in VB.Net code

• Observed: the TODO line appears in the Task List window as expected //Okay
• Save, and close the IDE instance
• Open a the same newly created "WebApplication1" solution in a new VS IDE instance.
• Observed: Task List window is empty although the TODO line still exists // not Okay
• As soon as one edits any code file, e,g.WebApplication1\Pages\Error.cshtml.cs, even by just adding and removing a single space
• Observed: unexpectedly (all if there are more than just one) TODO lines magically reappear in the Task List

Actual question: Is that a reproducible VS Bug or is it just me / my PC/setup?

Answer 1

Doing a "Visual Studio Installer" -> "Repair" seems to have cured the symptom so far fortunately. (That part took a while though and also demanded an O/S restart. Reinstalling one Extension and arranging desired IDE/Debug windows layout afterwards was easy.)

Answer 2

This also happened to me. I have been using VS 2022 for a while, and today is the first time I've seen it. Making a small code edit didn't change anything, but just closing and restarting VS did.

I have been clearing caches and cleaning solutions today. I have also had both 2019 and 2022 open, but that hasn't caused a problem (that I've noticed) before.

Answer 3

it's a problem from me too
on some projects it works, in others don't
doesn't matter if i restart vs or re-paste the file
task list window doesn't event fill the combo up left
it's like it's crashing entirely

Answer 4

In the (hidden).vs\ProjectEvaluation\ folder, deleting the older versions of the files.metadata.vx.y and.projects.vx.y of the project in question solved the problem for me.
