Yeh it’s not great. I’ve got no idea who made the decision to uninstall net6 as part of the update to VS17.4. We were caught by this because it also uninstalls Android 31 SDK which is required for net6-android applications to build.
Net6 is an LTS version, so should be installed and be available. I know a lot of projects are pinning to net6.

I noticed that .NET SDK 6 was gone and 7 was installed. I had to manually reinstall SDK 6 to get going again (this didn't happen to a colleague). A WebApi project produced a huge slab of NU1106 compile errors. I removed every reference of every type and it made no difference. After 2 hours I discovered that if I removed one of my own rather innocuous project references then it all came good. That reference has been there for the last 6 months. Now all of my existing Blazor projects stall and produce something like this: Failed to launch debug adapter. Additional information may be available in the output window. Unable to launch browser: "Could not open ws://localhost:56709/_framework/debug/ws-proxy?browser=wsAFF127.0.0.1A59317FdevtoolsFbrowserF4fe90d5b-f3d4-4f84-950c-2cc9af15b95c" The program '' has exited with code 4294967295 (0xffffffff). I've now spent 2 hours on this, and it's not looking helpful. A brand new app runs okay. I've run out of ideas. I started work at 06:30 but I haven't done any real work yet. Greg Keogh
