Strange rendering error in Visual Studio 2022

111 Views Asked by At

A few days ago I tried to start Visual Studio and it glitched out showing only some of the buttons and ignoring my entire project list. When I try opening a solution file, it also glitches out, showing the core components and everything being stuck in a bright white screen.

VS Menu: Visual Studio Menu

VS Editor: Visual Studio Solution

This has happened before but the only way it was resolved was by having to reinstall windows entirely.

So far I have reinstalled Visual Studio 3 times, manually installed / reinstalled all packages and libraries, Updated all graphics drivers, and searched through almost every Microsoft document and forum page for Visual Studio errors I could find.

Is there any way to fix this without having to lose all of my apps and files again? (this only happens to 2022, I would use other versions but my projects seem to break when using them)

I hit a similar issue with a WXwidgets project I'm working on, VS debug solution started to render off screen and all the buttons and text fields were all jacked, and my undo buttons weren't available.

I resolved this issue by making my file smaller, removing a bunch of commented code, white spaces about 1400 lines to 1100 lines. Idk why this fixed the issue, I just read somewhere about some issues with visual studio and files being to long.
