modify VS 2019 and select Individual Components tab. Install the latest .Net Framework SDK
Or this error may be related to having an older version of VS installed (like 2017)
For VS to act properly, these instructions may be needed: https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProductionPipelines/DevelopmentSetup/VisualStudioSetup/
I only followed the tips and have not experienced other problems.
Turn off Show Inactive Blocks. If you do not, chunks of code may appear grayed out in the text editor. Go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C/C++ > View to turn off this setting.
Set Disable External Dependencies Folders to True to hide unneeded folders in the Solution Explorer. Find Disable External Dependencies Folder in Tools > Options > Text Editor > C/C++ > Advanced.
Turn off Edit & Continue features; you do not need them. Go to Tools > Options > Debugging > Edit and Continue.
Turn on IntelliSense.
If for any reason the Unreal project needs to be rebuilt:
Delete everything inside the Binaries and Intermediate folders that are inside the project.
Right click the uproject file and select Generate Visual Studio project files and select 5.0.
Open UE5 and open the uproject.
UE5 will ask to convert the project, select more options and convert in place
The project should open with no errors
