Visual Studio doesn't load any project

Question

So, I'm kinda new into this VS world. I'm using VS 2012 and it was everything working correctly last time. Now I try to open my projects and none of them actually loads. When I go to the solution explorer I just see the message "Load failed" followed by the message: "The project requires user input. Reload for more information." But when I reload, it pops up a message "The operation could not be completed. There is no support for this interface."

I don't know what it means by "requires user input", i never opened my project with any input, I just click on the project's file and open it...

Anyway, what is going on??

Thanks.

Hi,

Please try to create a new project and ensure your Visual studio is in good condition.

Ensure your local files related to project/Solution are not deleted/corrupted by mistake from the last successful open.

If you use any Version control system then take latest or previous version of the source code and try.

Hope this helps.

Hi Anon176,

Senthilraj’s suggestions are very helpful, please reference them.

Another possible reason for your issue is that your current Visual Studio does not support the type of your project or some technologies in your projects.

What edition of VS is your current VS? Express for Web? What version of VS were your projects created? You know VS 2012 is a newer VS product, if those projects were created in very old Visual Studio and used some old technologies which may not supported by VS2012, then you may load them successfully from VS2012. So please check your projects.

Best regards,
