      Take a look at the right-top corner of solution explorer. There's a message: "This project is targeting a version of .NET which is not installed" Install proper .net framework and error should gone. [EDIT] You can also downgrade .NET version to project. See: [Timed out while connecting to named pipe. Please help me? - Microsoft Q&A](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/849109/timed-out-while-connecting-to-named-pipe-please-he)

        Try this: Go to Tools menu and click Options. In the dialog, in the upper-left corner of the window, type "preview". In the list of items that shows up on the left, click On Preview Features. In the right side of the window, UNCHECK the "Use the preview Windows Forms out-of-process designer..." option. Click OK and restart Visual Studio.

              Restart Visual Studio and Your Computer - Sometimes, simply restarting Visual Studio or your computer can clear up temporary issues. Run Visual Studio as Administrator - Right-click on the Visual Studio shortcut and select "Run as administrator." This can help if there are permission issues. Check for Updates - Ensure that you are using the latest version of Visual Studio 2022. Go to **Help > Check for Updates**. Disable Extensions - Some Visual Studio extensions can interfere with functionality. Try disabling any non-essential extensions: - Go to **Extensions > Manage Extensions** and disable them temporarily. Repair Visual Studio - If nothing else works, consider repairing your Visual Studio installation: - Go to **Control Panel > Programs and Features**, find Visual Studio, and select the **Repair** option. Check Windows Services - Ensure that the required Windows services are running: - Press `Win + R`, type `services.msc`, and press Enter. - Look for "Visual Studio Hosting Process" and make sure it's running. Restart it if necessary. Clear User Data - Clear Visual Studio user data: - Close Visual Studio. - Open a command prompt and run: ```bash devenv /resetuserdata ``` - Note that this will reset your settings and preferences. Check Anti-Virus or Security Software - Sometimes, security software can block certain processes. Try temporarily disabling your anti-virus software to see if it resolves the issue. Check for .NET SDK Issues - Ensure that the correct .NET SDKs are installed. You can verify this in the Visual Studio Installer under the "Individual components" tab. Try a Different User Profile - Create a new Windows user profile and see if the issue persists there. Sometimes user profile issues can cause unexpected behavior in applications. navicosoft.com navicosoft.com.au navicosoft.co.uk
