Visual Studio 2022 missing options from Build Action property

While working on a c# winforms app today in VS2022 I noticed I no longer have any items in the dropdowns for Build Action and Copy to Output Directory.

I've tried rebooting my computer and just Visual Studio and no luck. These worked before.

I resolved this issue by following steps:

  1. Navigate and Select the Resouce on which you want to set build action
  2. Right-Click and Select 'Include in Project'
  3. Go to the properties of the resource and you can see the option to set the Build Action.

Thanks

As suggested, I ran the repair in VS Installer. After it finished, my options returned. The "repair" also installed an available update as well. I can't say for sure which actually fixed the issue. The update was from 17.2 to 17.4.

Thanks for the help.
