Visual Studio 19 failed to open; Problem Signature PerfWatconTcdb

[JSilvers]

I installed and ran the latest version ofo Visual Studio 19. When I tried to open it, put up the splash screen then put up a messsage "The application cannot start".

My questions:

How do I fix this?

If it's non-critical, why won't Visual Studio start?

Why does the error message not name the application that cannot start?
