What is the difference between Visual Studio Professional 2026 and Visual Studio Professional 2022?

The main difference between Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 Professional and 2022 Professional lies in performance updates, native AI integration, and support for newer frameworks like .NET 10. Visual Studio 2026, released in November 2025, introduces an "AI-native" IDE with tools like enhanced Copilot, while the 2022 version focuses on improvements such as 64-bit IDE and basic IntelliCode. Both Professional editions offer similar features such as CodeLens and advanced debugging, but do not differ in licensing or use scenarios.
