Trying to run Monogame and it does not work. Missing logo and content not working

It is my first year learning programming at college and we are using monogame to develop a Space Invaders game. I installed and reinstalled VS2019 and Monogame several times, followed all the steps and it does not work. When I open a new project It displays differently from my colleagues and my lecturer. The logo is missing and replaced by a strange black square thing with a "humanoid figure". Also when I get in the program itself it does not display the logo on the Content.mgcb and when I try to add a PNG. image for the Sprite to the content folder it does not work because is missing the .xnb file. I already tried to use a PNG to .XNB converter and it does not work unless I go manually to the content folder and paste the xnb file there. After "fix" that the next problem is to add the fonts, as I am not able to add them troughtout the content pipeline I can not continue with it. I am highly frustrated and my lecturer does not know what is wrong with it. If any of you could help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you. (I add some screenshots so you can see it).

P.S.: I have two users in my laptop, both are Admins, if that is any help.

I believe there are many gotchas to the 3.8 version of Monogame and they have changed many things with the update, so you'll need to tread carefully.

They have a forum, and a post about the current version here: https://community.monogame.net/t/monogame-3-8/13312

They advise going through the getting started guide here: https://docs.monogame.net/articles/getting_started/0_getting_started.html

The Content Builder (MGCB) program not executing properly is also the topic of a forum post.

Personally I had so many problems with 3.8 (nuget based) that I reverted to 3.7.x (installer based) but I wouldn't advise that unless there are problems you really can't overcome.
