Visual Studio Installer Doesn't open

When I open the installer, it asks me to give permission for it to run. When I press yes, it does nothing.

The installers located in the download folder and when I check Task Manager it doesn't appear there.

Is there anything I can do to fix this as other executable files run.

(I also use Windows Defender as my antivirus.)

    Hi @Hextav ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Have you tried to run the Visual Studio Installer as administrator? Does it work?

    You can try to manually delete the "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer” folder.
    Then, re-download the bootstrapper file from the following Microsoft Site and run it as administrator.
    https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

    Before the installation, please temporarily disable the anti-virus software.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
