@Olina-Zhang can your team please verify this?

I think this is @Shyam-Gupta's area of expertise.

@Olina-Zhang can your team please verify this?

We cannot reproduce it. Let's see if @Shyam-Gupta has any output or need more information to customer.

@benki111 Could you please confirm if project can be built successfully after creating it? Also, are you able to create a WPF .NET project successfully and launch the designer? This will help us determine if it is a WinForms specific issue or not. Thanks.

@benki111 - what framework are you targeting?

When creating a new app Winform desktop for .Net 7, I solved this "hang" problem by using this procedure:

1. Create new app, close designer (it hangs!)
2. Execute PM > dotnet restore
3. Exit Vs2022
4. Reload app
5. Rename Form1.cs to MainForm.cs (or basically do something new)
6. Debug or run app
7. You should see your MainForm designer screen after 10 seconds! Mike McCullough mike@mccul.co

• Rename Form1.cs to MainForm.cs (or basically do something new)

All of that shouldn't be necessary. What's the diagnostics output? https://aka.ms/winforms/designer/troubleshooting.
