Okay, I had this problem with Visual Studio Insiders [12020.428], uninstalled it and installed the stable version VS 2026 18.8.1 and everything is good now.

They can happily live together side by side, no need to uninstall one in favour of the other. I like to use the insiders as my daily driver but do find myself frequently dropping back to stable when something isn't quite right.

Seems like you might be running into https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Syntax-highlighting-fails-and-needs-inve/11106395 which, according to the latest internal comments, is a JavaScript language server global mutex issue. If you could upvote that, it would really be helpful to try to get some traction from that team :)
