ViewsUpdate Visual Studio 2019 errors
I had an update for Visual Studio 2019 community. I am now on version 16.10.2. But now I can't open my solutions anymore. Existing projects aren't loading and the log says this:

If I start a new solution with a MVC Api the solution is created, but the project is not added. Adding it to the solution manually gives me this error:
Method not found: 'System.Collections.Generic.LinkedListNode1<!0> System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList1.gdt_Last()'
What I tried:
- Repair Visual Studio
- Uninstalled Visual Studio and everything that has to do with .NET or Microsoft frameworks
- Googled (nothing found)
Does anyone have any idea why this happens all of a sudden?

check this solution
open .csproj and remove this tag

Here is my 2¢:
- If your project has NuGet packages, examine and update each one properly.
- I'm not sure that you have the latest version of .Net which is recently 5. What happened when you get
System.Collections.dlland replace it with the correlated .dll file having the same name. For example, the dll is inC:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.NETCore.App.Ref\5.0.0\ref\net5.0in my computer.
However, I think when you update your framework to .Net 5 along with updating related NuGet packages fixes the issue.
How to change the project version?
Right click on project, Properties --> Application --> Target framework. Target framework dropdown displays list of frameworks installed on your machine. If you don't want to update it, at least take .Net 5 and make the version down in the dropdown menu.

I suspect the newest version of VS2019 updated the solution cache, without backward compatibility or corrupted it. Try to delete the hidden folder .vs in your solution folder and reopen your solution with the VS2019 you want to use.
