Installing https://github.com/SpecFlowOSS/SpecFlow.VS/releases/tag/v2022.1.93-net8 does NOT fix the issue

[Jamie-Clayton]

Note the Visual Studio teams Feedback channel shows a 3 other extensions with issue in v17.10.x editions

I've also logged an issue with a parrallel fork in reqnroll/Reqnroll#220 as they have the same behaviour.

[Jamie-Clayton]

Rolled back to v17.10.4, from v17.10.5 (VS Installer limits how far you go back)
Uninstalled previous editions of SpecFlow.
Downloaded v2022 + .net 8.0 release and installed a single extension.
Restarted VS2022 multiple times.
Everything working.
