Configuring Syncfusion Toolbox in Visual Studio 2022 v17.13

During the installation of Syncfusion products on machines with Visual Studio 2022 v17.13 and Visual Studio 2022 Preview 5 (v17.13.0), we have encountered an issue with the Syncfusion Toolbox not appearing or functioning effectively in certain cases. This can be due to an improper configuration, or Visual Studio failing to load the toolbox properly. The installation might stuck in Toolbox configuration.
