I use visual studio 2019. When I open my solution, sometime I can see this alert:

If I click by Open log btn, I can see a log with the following exception:

===================

So, actually, it was not a problem for me, before this time. Now I need to install this plugin. And it seems to me, this error prevent for correct installation.

I go to Extensions -> Marketplace -> type "typewriter" - plugin name. Then I press Download. After this I try to restart Visual Studio. Finally, I see the following message:

enter image description here

"Элемент не найден" - means: element not found.

I press on the View install log and again, I see exception about COM:

08.10.2020 16:38:48 - System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070490): Элемент не найден. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070490)

   в VSIXInstaller.App.Initialize(Boolean isRepairSupported)
   в VSIXInstaller.App.Initialize()
   в System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1.InnerInvoke()
   в System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()

So what is wrong?
