I have a project using an Access database. I go to data connections in VS and create a connection, I select the db which has a path of [my project folder]app_datastats.accdb and test the connection and it works fine, so I save it. VS then doesn’t allow me to access the DB, it puts a red X on it under data connections in server explorer. When I go to modify the connection, the path has been changed to |DataDirectory|stats.accdb.

For example when I type in MAUI Visual Studio I have colored, hints like this

I am new to Visual Studio and C.
Recently I discovered on the Internet a new way to organize my Projects in
Folders and kind of ignoring the filters.
This made my program folder structure much better.
Now I know where .exe, .obj etc. files reside in my hard disk directories and how to rearrange them.
From what I can recall my problem started after I corrected a Solution or Project file structure.
Since then when I have selected “Show all files” and I am creating a New Folder for my Project, the New Folder default name is “New Folder1” instead of “New Folder”.
I do the following:
Project Name Right click on it, Add -> New Folder a new folder is created with the
default name “New Folder1”.
See below the screenshots for clearer representation :

I have written a testadapter that mainly starts another process and executes my unit-tests there. So in fact my adapter is just the bridge between vstest-host and my other process.

I just upgraded VS to the latest version.
If I want to merge a branch to another one I right click on it and then select create pull request, but then it does that in VS and I need it to be in DevOps.
If I do a push I get a choice to create a pull request in VS or in browser.

I’d often highlight the text I want to replace so that the moment I begin typing, it gets replaced. However, Visual Studio 2022 has introduced some messed-up, undesired behaviour whereby if the first character I happen to type over the highlighted text is a double quote, curly brace, bracket or square bracket, instead of replacing the text with that, it wrongly wraps the highlighted text in that! How do I turn this annoyance off?

When I build it gives me this error. To a colleague of mine though it works normally even on drive…

Recently any changes I make to a solution vanish after closing Visual Studio. I’m using Git as the repo.
For example, I add 3 new files, write code, save, build, run, debug. All my files are saved locally as expected. But if I close Visual Studio and re-open it, All my changes are lost and the files are missing.
I’ve been using Visual Studio for 23 years and I have never had this happen before.

VS 2022 is crashing on opening solutions. Loading VS without opening anything and getting the “recent projects” screen is fine. The moment I open a solution file or select to continue without code it freezes and then crashes.

Visual Studio 2022 is bugging out when it comes to errors.
The error squiggles are no longer showing under ANY of the errors.
Also, when I click an error item in the Error list, it no longer takes me directly to the error.
