I don't know if is correct to upload this question in this site but I'll take my chances.

In Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.1.5 with .NET Version 4.8.03752. I'm trying to use the XML Schema Explorer to analyze an XSD file.

For some reason Visual Studio can not load the explorer correctly. The window is opened but the content (the tree) is not displayed. The image is frozen with the previous content.

XML Schema Explorer with frozen image

Visual Studio does not crash, I can close the explorer window without problem.

I tried to reopen the IDE, repair it and reinstall from scratch but nothing seems to work.

Any help how to fix this is appreciated.

This was a bug that has been fixed as per: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/657389/xml-schema-explorer-does-not-work.html

Just update your Visual Studio 2019 to the latest version.

Update: I'm on VS Professional 2019 and the fix was in patch 16.3.4 - I was on 16.3.3 where I still experienced the issue).

I had this same behaviour, and I worked around it by temporarily disabling my JetBrains ReSharper extension in Extension Manager.

This is clearly a bug in Resharper or VS.
