I think I ran into something similar a while back. 29 projects in the solution and it would forget which projects depended on which and build them out of order.
I ended up setting the max number of concurrent project builds to 1 and it seems to have worked around the problem.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake here but that's what I always do (one concurrent build at a time) and that made no difference for me.

I don't know about the update but the bugginess of VS2022 is infuriating.
I'm programming a WinForms project and the Tools in the Tool window disappear on a regular basis or are grayed out.
The properties window is blank at times.
Sometimes designers refuse to load...on and on!
WTF, is there no QA anymore? This is not a new product, it's been out as a preview for quite a while.
So again I say WTF?
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

I have a few close friends that work for Microsoft, and they are developers there.
I am not saying this is the reason, but it may be a contributing factor: too many young people with subpar work ethic. I've preached about this in other threads over the years, but my friends brought this up to me before, a few times. I guess its becoming a big deal/issue there.
It would explain or partially explain the increased lackluster rollouts and releases, the bugs that should have been caught during normal testing processes, etc. - the silly, stupid stuff that should never occur.
Hey, go woke, go broke. You get what you pay for. If Microsoft wants to pay for shite, then they get shite. Just saying...

Almost as bad, inept QA.
Our esteemed QA department (what I call our one guy) closed a Jira that wasn't even yet in his queue. I had to call him out in Standup yesterday. I asked him how he tested the change, in all 5 different applications it went in, when I intentionally had NOT moved the code into the branch that builds the QA environment. "I just saw it was related to the one application as the other stories I was testing and moved it over."
Later I went back and checked the story and sure enough in my description was what he SHOULD have seen if the code had been migrated over. Since it wasn't, the message wouldn't have appeared and he should have Failed the story. I now know he didn't even READ the story before passing it. This is not the first time he has done this.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I'm a bit late to this party....
I have learned to export my install config (VS Installer > More > Export Configuration) and export settings (VS IDE > Tools > Import and Export Settings). Especially important when working with the Preview editions.
When it is time to do a major update, I tend to Repair, then apply the update. If there are any issues, I can uninstall and use the exported configuration to quickly reinstall, then Import the settings back into the IDE after updating.
Flushing an install tends to have less issues after the update. Re-installing things like ReSharper and other extensions, not that I use many, doesn't take long to do.

I have a little IoT audio development board - an AI Thinker ESP32 Audio Kit Version 2.2 rev 2957. The thing is supposed to able to be developed into an Alexa type device.
The problem with it is the documentation is maybe the worst I've ever seen. It claimed that the audio chip was an ES8388. It's an AC101, which isn't even similar.
Worse, there are at least 3 different versions of "Version 2.2" with different pinouts, none of which are specifically documented, requiring you to piece together snatches of old documentation, messageboard responses, and just random detritus from google and wave a dead chicken over the whole thing and maybe it will work.
I've been working on it all day and am not at the point where it produces sound yet. I can turn an LED off and on.
Would not recommend to a friend. Skip AI-Thinker and an get an Espressif LyraT board instead. Meh.
Edit: I got mine making sound finally but who knows how many boards this works for.

Don't you keep working on stuff like that just for the great feeling when you finally make it work?
Been there, done that, but not on that particulr board.

Don't know if this is what you're looking for but I bought one recently and it's a pretty decent device.
I was looking for an Alexa type device but not cloud based.

Cool. I'm looking to avoid the Arduino ecosystem, as it's more bulky, pricey and less powerful than I'm used to as a general rule. I ordered a couple of different ESP32 based LyraT boards which are sort of gold standard boards for doing this sort of thing in the ESP32 world.
But yeah, that's basically what I'm doing. I intend to release a library for it, so maybe I'll end up supporting the Arduino boards down the road, but I'm really focused on the ESP32 line.

I'm fixing to convert it to use with ARM, I going away from Arduino.
I'd eventually like to do some Home IoT stuff...if I ever get the time.

You got that right.
I work more now than I did when I worked full time.
Difference is there's no pressure to get them done.

Yeah, Ain't that the truth. I left salaried employment to start my own shop, but
I worked twice as hard as I did when I had an actual job!
Then I retired, or at least I drew my retirement, so now I only spend about 8 or 9 hours in front of the keyboard tinkering with projects that interest me!

Yep, but lately I've had to finish some woodworking projects so it's taken me away from the keyboard, temporarily anyway.

You can use wildcard characters (* or ?), to represent one or more characters of a file name and to display a subset of files or subdirectories.
The asterisk wildcard always uses short file name mapping, so you might get unexpected results.
You can use the question mark (?) as a substitute for a single character in a name.

The question mark does not actually substitute for a dot/period/full stop (.) in a file name.

As a further note, I have 8dot3 naming turned off on my personal system and I'll have to try this there.
Tested on Win10 as well as this old Win8 junker.

To be fair, they do warn you that the * uses the 8.3 filename. I guess the ? does as well.
Use dir /X to get the 8.3 filenames.
|
|
|
|
|
Yet the 8dot3 names don't seem to make a difference -- it behaves the same whether 8dot3 names are enabled on the volume or not. Or maybe it generates 8dot3 names on-the-fly as needed but doesn't store them?

The documentation you cite was proofread poorly. They refer to "dir t97\*" several times rather than "dir t97.*".

I'd just like to point out a gem I found underneath a semi-private portion of the ESP-IDF development framework.
The headers for it reside under a folder called "esp_private"
The magic sauce here is access to a very cool coprocessor of sorts. What it does is take a series of pins, which it then treats as bits - High = 1, Low = 0, like that.
Then you give it a clock frequency and a memory buffer, and that little coprocessor will traverse that memory buffer in the background flipping those pins off and on based on the data in the buffer you gave it. It all happens as rapidly as you need it to, and in the background.
You can use it to power things like RGB interfaced LCD controllers, Hub75 LED matrices, or anything else where you need a battery of digital signaling you can control with a byte buffer.
Very cool. Very undocumented. I'm busy hacking my way through it because while Espressif exposed a higher level RGB LCD panel interface that uses it under the covers, that doesn't work in my environment as the tech is very new. The older tech is incomplete and not functional in that capacity, but it's what I'm stuck with so I'm going to the metal myself. But that's not important.
The takeaway here is the amazing technology, and the fact that they're in no hurry to expose it to downstream consumers of the platform.

Very interesting.
How did you discover this undocumented functionality?
I'm a hacker (the good kind) and I'm always curious about how people find the stuff that is hidden.
Also, I'm working on a ESP32 thing right now because you advised that it would be a good platform for my BLE work. It's going really well and I can't believe I've finally made a break-thru.
Anyways, while looking at a small ESP32 dev board at amazon, I stumbled upon this picture from amazon that is absolutely hilarious[^]. Can you advise on that use of the ESp32 with those tweezers? 
I believe he is trying to dip his ESP32 switches into the main board which will surely create a new computing platform.
