Visual Studio Keeps Crashing on Windows 11

Question

Edition Windows 11 Pro

Version 23H2

Installed on ‎1/‎21/‎2025

OS build 22631.4751

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1055.0

Problem:

I've installed the VS 2022, and it keeps crashing.

I tried to trace the issue for days, and finally, I got a clue about what was going on from the Windows Event Viewer.

I found 2 Error when trying lunching the VS 2022

Faulting application name: devenv.exe, version: 17.12.35707.178, time stamp: 0x677db4da

Application: devenv.exe

Framework Version: v4.0.30319

Description: The process was terminated due to an internal error in the .NET Runtime at IP 00007FFB7C14C097 (00007FFB7C000000) with exit code 80131506.

From a simple investigation, I realized that the issue was from the .Net Framework, so I deleted the framework, and the app worked! but I can't do anything since I don't have the Framework installed.

I hope there's an upcoming patch for this issue.

Answer 1

Hi @Mahmoud Mostafa, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

You can try to reinstall the latest supported .NET Framework from the official download page.

Download .NET Framework | Free official downloads 

After installation, you can re-launch your VS2022 and check that it works properly.

If you still have the .NET Runtime error, you can use the following tool to repair your .NET Framework:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/repair

Besides, you can also install the required .NET Framework by opening the Visual Studio Installer > Modify > Individual components tab > search ".NET Framework". 

Sincerely,

Anna
