This is evidenced by user posts posted on the Microsoft support forum and the Reddit platform. Messages say the issue affects Visual Studio, Windows Presentation Foundation, and other applications.
In a support forum, Microsoft confirmed the issue, adding that the company is “working on a fix. ” The developers are expected to release separate fixes for NET: framework, Visual Studio, and other products. Exactly when the fixes are ready for mass distribution is still unknown. After installing the previously mentioned updates, users who encounter issues are advised to uninstall them and refrain from reinstalling them until Microsoft releases a fix.
