Hello,

Using Visual Studio (2019 & 22) I have this issue where I get no syntax error warnings nor highlighting. This started happening after my upgrade to Windows 11 (from 10). I looked into the issue and it seems I am missing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (KB2736182).

However, this pack is not suported for windows 11. (does not install)

How do I resolve?
