    If add a script in Unity, then switch to Visual Studio, Visual Studio requests that I reload.

    Reloading closes all tabs.

    How to resolve?

    Are you on the most recent version of Visual Studio? 2019 or 2022?

    Haven‘t been using VS for years but I do remember it having odd glitches. It may help to close VS, delete all .sln and .csproj files from the unity project root folder and then try again.

    Thanks, but didn't help!

    What do you recommend using instead?

    I use Rider. Not free but if you consider paying it‘s definitely the better choice over VS for Unity dev thanks to native support and the built-in decompiler.

    Update to the mostly recently released version. I believe these issues have been fixed.

    @SteffenItterheim: Cool to see Copilot is available for Rider. I'll consider it if VS keeps bugging out!

    @spiney199: Thanks. Just updated and appears to have fixed it.

    Had the same issue with visual studio 2022 version 17.2.2
    Can confirm that updating to 17.2.3 will fix it

    Still there in 17.3.4.
    Reloading causes some tabs to close and sometimes tabs get duplicated.
