Visual Studio 2022 Designer Returning Null

[ChaoticKitten25]

I've been using Visual Studio 2022 community and for some reason when I close a project and then open it, the designer returns back with a "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: format"

I'm using VS2022 community for an advanced C# class I'm taking and I've sent the projects to my professor, but on his computer the projects open just fine. The designer is there, he can edit the form no problem. But on my computer, it returns back with "value cannot be null" message. I have tried shift+f7 and shift+fn+f7, but neither have worked. I will say that my computer is an MSI GS65 Stealth, if that helps at all. I'm hoping its a formatting issue that either a) is something I haven't learned about yet or b) something that I need to tinker with a bit. I am still learning about coding and programming, so apologies in advance if I ask for clarification. I've attached a screenshot of the message. Thanks in advance!
