Visual Studio 2017 File icons broken - icons

I have a weird issue with my visual studio 2017. When I load a project the icons look just fine, but when I edit and save some code the icon disappears.
It looks like this:
The issue isn't breaking, it's just odd that it's broken. I have used the installer to 'repair' my visual studio, but to no avail. Has this happened to anyone else?
Edit: Some backstory might be needed. I have reset this laptop at the start of a new school year. Visual Studio 2015 has worked fine (Including the icons) before I reset the laptop.
After the reset, I had installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition, since someone stated my school had a license. Since they did not, I uninstalled it and installed Visual Studio 2017 Professional edition. The icons have been broken ever since I installed this version.

This issue is reported by the developer's community Solution Shows Missing File Icon.
And now this issue has been fixed in version 15.4 which has been released a new visual studio after solving it. You can download fixed version of visual studio from below link:

App.Mobile Project appears as (incompatible)

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 Version 17.0.4
Starting from scratch a "Multi-Platform App (Uno Platform|net6)" project, closing the solution and reopening it, the "mobile" project is listed as "incompatible".
It happened to me on two different computers.
I run the "uno-check" and after installing the missing parts it tells me that everything is ok, but when I load the solution the mobile project continues with the same error.
Any idea?
The .NET 6 mobile project template is only supported on Visual Studio 17.1 Preview 1 and later.
I leave the link where he explains that the problem is in the manifest of the packages.

Visual Studio 2019 Comunity Browser Button not visible

I just newly installed Visual Studio Comunity 2019, and I tried to start a new ASP.NET MVC project. However, I can't seem to find the Browser Button. https://imgur.com/ajtDatf
I mean the one where you can choose with which Browser (IE, Chrome, Mozilla, etc) do you want to run your project. Does anyone know how to fix this.
I'm in Germany and Visual Studio is also in german.:D
Thank you for your help.
So, aparently I get this issue when I'm forking from a Repo from Github. If I close and reopen the Visual Studio after the fork, the problem is solved.
So far, It happend only with two repos. The thing is that I borrowed a new laptop and installed the Visual Studio 2019 on it. Never had this issue before on my old PC.
Feels good fixing your own issues. :D

QT Tools Tab is missing in VS 2019

I had been using VS2013 for some time and a Qt Tools tab was present (as shown in the screenshot below) after installing Qt Visual Studio Tools
PROBLEM: Now I have installed VS 2019 Community edition. I have already installed Qt Visual Studio Tools extension. But still, the Qt tab is missing in the ribbon (as shown in the screenshot below). Due to this, I am also not able to set the path of the Qt exe correctly.
PS: Qt extension is definitely installed properly because when I try to create a new project, it shows the various options to create Qt project.
In Visual Studio 2019 theQt VS Tools menu is a sub-menu in the Extensions menu.
Note: the binaries created with VS2013 are not compatible with VS2019, for it to work you need Qt build with Visual Studio 2015 or 2017.

Visual Studio 2013 for web installed but not present in start menu

I am facing very weird problem. I just installed from asp.net . first it installed Microsoft Web Platform Installer and then VS13 but I had cancelled that for some reason. But studio was present under control panel > programs and was not present in start menu. I uninstalled both and installed again but I am again facing same problem. It is present in control panel but not in start menu. How can I work for it?
My Lord... It was there with the name VS Express 2013 for web.
One thing that I've noticed after installing Visual Studio 2013 Pro, was that it did not install into Program Files as "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013", but "Visual Studio 2013". It might be there if you scroll down a bit...

SQLite 1.0.82.0 (latest) in Visual Studio 2012 not showing in Designer Data Source

I am using the latest version, 1.0.82.0 (sqlite-netFx40-setup-bundle-x86-2010-1.0.82.0.exe), and am using the released version of Visual Studio 2012 with all the latest everything.
I do not see the SQLite in the Designer Data Source in Source Explorer (new Connections).
The download on SQLite states, "This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2010". I presume the "Visual Studio 2010" part is why I do not see the designer in VS2012, which is what I have.
How can I get the designer to work with VS2012?
When will the System.Data.SQLite.org team come out with a version that works with VS 2012?
(I did see a couple of posts back in July which talked about 1.0.66 and 1.0.73, but that was then and 1.0.82 includes the designers just for VS 2010 apparently. I see other file names with "-2008" presumably for Visual Studio 2008. That means that a Visual Studio 2012 will probably come, but in the mean time, I am curious about a manual registry hack or something like that.)
In order to get designer support for SQLite in Visual Studio, you have to download a very specific version of System.Data.SQLite. The downloads page has an astonishing 56 different possibilities, so it's easy to get the wrong one.
Look for the big bold text that says this:
This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2012.
But it's still easy to miss among the zillions of downloads. If you need to, use Control-F to find the "Visual Studio 2012" text.
Don't download the 64-bit version, even if you're on a 64-bit machine. You need the 32-bit version with the text above to get designer support.
NEW EDIT NOW I GOT IT WORKING!
Goto Visual Studio, Manage Nuget, search for online packages, search "SQLite", install System.Data.SQLite, and boom, you can use designer and evrything is working again.
After some search I found my answer, 1.0.83, which will come out in November XX, 2012.
Visual Studio 2012 aside from the v10 to v11 registry hive difference also has what the team calls a "redesigned designer support".
Here is the link to the information.
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/news.wiki
1.0.83.0 - November XX, 2012 (release scheduled)
•Updated to SQLite 3.7.15.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to all the applicable solution/project files, their associated supporting files, and the test suite.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to the redesigned designer support installer.
and other changes.
I could not find any interim solution on the web, sadly. The lack of a fix affects report based projects with DevExpress and projects that use the explorer.
