   Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise:

   Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise:

   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /Log
   

   3. Replicate the issue and close Visual Studio 4. The log file will be found in %AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\, under a subdirectory (*). You can press Start+R and enter the path into the window. 5. E-mail us your ActivityLog.xml file so we can try to find possible issues.
