Empty toolbox in Visual Studio 2022 for .NET 6.0 WinForms and Control Library projects

When I create WinForms project or Control Library project for .NET 6.0, the designer toolbox is empty with information "There are no usable controls in this group".

Reseting toolbox does not fix the problem. Repairing VS installation from VS Installer level does not fix the problem.

Visual Studio Cummunity 2022 v 17.3.1

Has anyone encountered such a problem?

A similar issue occurred on my machine, with an empty Toolbox and all the latest updates. I hadn't noticed the Reset Toolbox option, but I landed here after searching and the comments above helped resolve my issue. For future reference, here's a quick visual guide of things to try if the Toolbox is empty.

Try right click on Toolbox empty space and click "Show All".
