I have a situation similar, where I open a solution with VS2022, and the window pops up for maybe 0.1 seconds then closes without warning. I usually can just need to try to open again and it works, but today it needed 5 or 6 attempts before successfully starting up. Weird.

After updating to latest version i am still facing the same issue and i am unable to find the directory you mentioned in my VSCommon folder there is only one folder present with name 17.0
C:\Users**<username>**\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon\17.0\SQM
The OnlineLicensing folder might be missing or was deleted by mistake due to a corrupted installation. Would you like to do a clean uninstallation and install VS again? Please download the VS2022 from the page and disable the anti-virus before installation.

I was having the same problem as Syed. I couldn't find the folder OnlineLicensing. Looks like this folder is only created when you first sign in. But everytime I tryed to sign in, the VS closes abruptdly. So, what worked for me was signing-in straight on the web browser, as I saw in another community.
Go to Tools - Options - Environment - Accounts - Sign-in options, set the sign-in options from ‘Embedded web browser’ to ‘System web browser’.
After I signed in, the folder OnlineLicensing was created.

In the "local" folder, there is no "Microsoft".
