MSVSC 2022 crashes when an existing project is modified

[avinashs]

Each time a Fortran project in MSVSC 2022 is modified (file removed), MSVSC crashes. Sometimes, it reopens with the deleted files still in the project, whereas other times they are deleted. There are no issues with adding files to the project. I have seen similar threads on this topic before and believe it was resolved but am able to reproduce it on multiple computers. A solution would be appreciated since it is an inconvenience.

What is the version of the VS? Version of the Fortran compiler integrated?

I just tested modifying a Fortran project - removing a file on VS Version 17.9.2 and ifx 2025 - I can't reproduce the crash. Maybe you can provide the complete zipped up solution we can test on our side.

Thanks for your prompt response, @Devorah_H_Intel . Attached is a minimum reproducible error project. There is one main program (main.f90) and three supporting programs (test1.f90, test2.f90, test3.f90) all included in the project folder. Program compiles and runs without error. When test3.f90 is removed from the project, MSVSC 2022 hangs and eventually crashes. A .png of the project window before the crash is also included. The MSVSC info is as below. Please note that this problem has been happening for a while on all my computers even with earlier builds of MSVSC for approximately 6 months or more.

Modifying your solution with IFX 2025 integrated with VS 17.9.2 does not cause issues. Thank you for providing the test. 

I suggest that you check https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/reference-implementation/intel-compilers-compatibility-with-microsoft-visual-studio-and-xcode.html and make sure that the installed VS version is validated for the version of the compiler you are using.
