It has nothing to do with Console.WriteLine, not does it have anything to do with Visual Studio. VS doesn't execute the code.

Without seeing your code, it's impossible to tell you what's going on.

Also, what kind of application is this? Windows Forms, WPF, ... ?

Console.WriteLine works fine in all apps for me - including in those compiled in VS2022.

However, if you are expecting it to write on your app display, it will only do that if you selected "Console App" as your project type - Windows, Web, and Hybrid apps use different mechanisms for interacting with the user.

If you are using a non-console project type, then Console.Write methods output to the Debug Console, which is only visible in the "Output" Pane of the debugger while your app is running under the debugger - so in "Release" builds of your app it will not be seen at all.
