Thanks for sharing the details! This issue happened because runtimes were removed without understanding dependency impact. Visual Studio does not auto- restore deleted runtimes.

please follow the below steps

Close Visual studio completely and open installer.
click Modify on visual studio 2022, go to workloads and ensure .NET Desktop Development is checked.
Switch to individual components, click modify or install and restart the machine.
Or alternative go to official Microsoft .NET download page.
Install Desktop runtime not SDK choose x64 and install .NET Framework 4.8 runtime
Restart the system after completing the above steps.
