WPF designer - Access is denied 0x80070005

[Ernst Jan Reinders]

Hi,

Have a problem with a new installation of Visual Studio 2017 - Version 15.9.9 on new notebook.

Installation did not have any problem. Loaded project I am working on without a problem.

But WPF designer is showing the next error

System.UnauthorizedAccessException
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

The first load is fine and shows the form but as soon I want to change and of the XAML code the above error shows in designer. When clicking the option 'Click her to reload the designer' the view is showing again.

Have search for solutions but none is working or give me a clue where there problem comes from.

One solution was to remove privateregistry.bin which I did but that did not work.

Problem occurs with every view/form/usercontrol even newly created one.

Building the project is no problem and everything works.


Can someone please help me get rid of this problem?

Ernst Jan
