Describe the bug

On opening Visual Studio 2022 (17.10.3), I received the error message "The AWSToolkitPackage did not load correctly".

I tried to re-install it via Manage Extensions, but it no longer shows as being installed. On installing again, a message pops up to say it is already installed, but as it does not show in Manage Extensions, I cannot uninstall it.

I manually removed the extension from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions, then reinstalled.

AWS Toolkit now shows under the Extensions menu, but it still does not show in Manage Extensions.

I have followed the Getting Started steps, but Amazon Q does not work. Nothing happens in Amazon_Q_Inline_Examples as it should. The Amazon Q logo does not show at the bottom-left of Visual Studio.

Expected behavior

I should be able to use Amazon Q. Alt-C should produce suggestions. There is no Amazon Q Chat window under the View menu.

Hi @paulguz-datapa, it appears you are seeing the same issue reported in #441, if you are able to try the re-install instructions here: #441 (comment), we're interested in knowing if this addresses the issue for you.

I didn't try 441, my manual reinstall yesterday seems to have fixed it after a restart. Thanks for the update.
