Visual Studio 2026 Insider

[Brian Beuken]

There's a new version... of course there is  just as the book launches..

But aside from some cosmetic changes, and I assume, a bit of internal shuffling around, its not massively different, just some navigation changes to panels. It still loads and runs all VS2022 projects fine.

That said for the forseeable future I will continue to use Visual Studio 2022 for all project.  I'll experiment more with the 2026 and transition when I am confident everything works

And this is good, VS2022 has just had an update, and broken every project....

some days, you wonder why you bother...

I am working on a fix and have reported the issue to Microsoft.

VS2026 works, but requires a different dir structure...for unknown reasons at this time.
