HI @Tristan.alvarez ,
I found this post where they discuss the exact same error you’re seeing:

Hello, I’m new to Unreal development, I’m trying to start a project I have. After generating the solution from the .uproject file, when I try to open the .sln file through Visual Studio Code I get the following message : [image] When I continue on, I get the following warning : [image] But it doesn’t tell me what non-functional changes where made, or where the problem is exactly. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

It explains that these issues usually come from not having all the required packages and SDKs installed correctly. Each Unreal version expects a specific Visual Studio version.

The recommendations are:

• Make sure you have the correct MSVC installed for your Unreal version.
• Uninstall any older Visual Studio versions that might be causing conflicts.
• Regenerate the project files from the .uproject.

Hope this helps!
