Designer not working in VS 2022 preview

See original GitHub issue

Environment

Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 21H2 Installed on ‎25-‎Mar-‎22 OS build 19044.2364 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4190.0

.NET version

.NET 8

Did this work in a previous version of Visual Studio and/or previous .NET release?

I am unsure if the designer previously worked.

Issue description

The designer fails to open a form in any of the projects of Winforms.

Steps to reproduce

Installed latest VS Preview and opened a form in WinformsControlsTest.
