My project was working smoothly until a while ago I reopen it to find the following error when trying to build it (I’m using vs code)

enter image description here

I noticed sdk 8.0.107 being recently updated/implemented automatically not manually in my “Program Files” folder

I’m not a pro in .net and I’m still learning mvc, I went through a lot of stackoverflow posts / microsoft docs to try to understand what’s happening and fix it, although I tried some simple solutions to see if they work and they didn’t, but for other’s I was scared to follow because I didn’t want to go deep into a rabbit hole of attempted solutions to similar issues only to end up with even a more complicated issue.

Not only do I want to fix it, I also want to understand why it happened? how can I make sure this kind of issues won’t happen again or at least be aware of them.

I really would appreciate any help.
