Every time I close Rider and reopen I get cannot resolve symbol errors

I cant repeat the problem, I have tried all the fixes available and it is still a problem.

So everything is great, the project builds it finds all my packages. It works without a problem. Then I close Rider, I reopen the next day. Then I get unable to resolve symbol errors throughout the project, it builds fine without errors, it also runs fine without errors. But essentially everything within the IDE becomes a text editor. Thought about just turning errors off and relying on debugging and googling manuals like I am trying to create an app with note pad, but sometimes it fixes itself as if by magic!

I invalidate the caches and restart and still doesnt fix the problem

I invalidate the caches, delete the .idea folder and still doesnt resolve the problem

I invalidate the caches, delete the .idea folder, go to the Library/caches folder and physically remove the Rider folder alltogether and restart, still doesnt solve the probelm. 

I restore Nuget packages and still doesnt solve the problem. 

It's like the solution forgets where the packages are but the compiler doesnt. Why are these two processes out of sync?

Hi, thank you for reaching out, and apologies for the delayed reply. Could you please confirm if the issue persists with the latest Rider version? 

If so, please collect logs in Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data and share them using JetBrains Upload Service.

Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue. Out of the thin air Rider decides that void, int, and other fundamental stuff are not resolvable anymore. I just updated, cleared the cache, deleted the .idea folder and nothing.

 

JetBrains Rider 2025.3.3
Build #RD-253.31033.136, built on February 19, 2026
Source revision: 565764487c99e

Ilnur Galimov any hint here?

Hello Reigota ,

First, I suggest checking the View | Tool Windows | Problems tool window → the Toolset, Environment tab. Is there anything? If so, share a screenshot. Then open the Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolset and Build setting page. Make another screenshot that demonstrates the .NET executable path and MSBuild version fields.

Finally, please share Rider logs:

  • Reproduce the issue;
  • Collect logs via Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data;
  • Upload the generated archive to the JetBrains Upload Service and tell me the Upload ID.

Have a nice day!
