Quiet_Equivalent_569 details an issue with unhandled exceptions in Visual Studio after a Windows 11 update, looking for troubleshooting advice.

Overview

Quiet_Equivalent_569 reports an ongoing issue with unhandled exception errors in Visual Studio following a Windows 11 update. The problem manifests only when running the project inside Visual Studio—building the project succeeds, and running the executable directly from the terminal works as expected.

Problem Details

  • Context:
    • No changes have been made to the project that could explain the error’s sudden appearance.
    • The issue began following a Windows 11 update.
    • Visual Studio was updated, and the .NET upgrade extension was installed. The project was upgraded accordingly.
    • The latest versions of the relevant framework and SDK from Microsoft were installed.
  • Behavior Observed:
    • After these updates, the error resolved for a short time.
    • Upon restarting the computer, the error reappeared, reflecting the updated version.
    • The project continues to build successfully. Changes made to the project are reflected when running the build output directly from the terminal.
    • The unhandled exception error occurs only when launching the project from within Visual Studio (using ‘Start without debugging’).
  • Evidence:
    • Several screenshots are provided that illustrate the errors and the installed versions.

Attempts to Resolve

  • Updated Visual Studio to the latest version.
  • Installed the .NET upgrade extension and upgraded the project.
  • Downloaded and installed the most recent SDK and framework versions.

These actions produced only a temporary solution; restarting the machine caused the issue to recur.
