VS 2019 update to 16.8.4 broke every single one of my solutions

I don't recall the previous version I had (it could have been 16.8.1), but updating just now to 16.8.4 results in none of my solution projects being able to load. Here's the output window for one of my solutions:
F:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio Projects\FitnessManagerCore\FitnessManagerCore\FitnessManagerCore.csproj : error : The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Roslyn\Microsoft.CSharp.Core.targets" was not found.

VS advised to try to reload the projects manually. When I attempt this, I get the following error message:
It seems Microsoft has no means to roll back a previous installation. I do not have a restore point. I do not want to uninstall/reinstall.
Edit:
I just tried creating a new solution to see what would happen if I tried to load one of my existing projects. When creating a console app w/ .NET Core, I get this:
Update:
This latest VS 2019 simply does not want to work on my machine in any capacity. I uninstalled VS 2019, rebooted, and attempted to reinstall. The installation stops midway with the below error message. When I click "Report this problem", it opens a Microsoft web page to report the issue, but says "Disconnected from Visual Studio". Since I can't roll back to a previous version according to what I'm reading, I guess I just can't use VS 2019 anymore.
You could check in your csporj file if you have:
<Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
You would need to change MSBuildToolsPath to MSBuildBinPath, like this:
<Import Project="$(MSBuildBinPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
When you create a project in Visual Studio 2008, $(MSBuildToolsPath) is added by default to your csproj file as the path to Microsoft.Build.Engine v3.5.
Be sure to change it to $(MSBuildBinPath) which is the path to Microsoft.Build.Engine v2.0.

What is the location for windbg Preview in windows 10?And how to rename a project name in visual studio 2019?

I got location for windbg in here but opening this exe file it looks different from windbg preview
:- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\windbg.exe"
I was unable to change the name so I made another project and copy paste the code now I am getting this error :
*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for CDAnalysis.exe
WinDbg Preview is a UWP app, so its binaries span in multiple locations.
Its launcher is at %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\WinDbgX.exe.

F# broken in VS build tools 2019 16.6.0

After installing this version, nothing that touches F# will build, everything throws the same exception:
error FS0193: Could not load file or assembly System.Buffers, Version=4.0.3.0, blablabla..
Apparently it's nothing to do with what I'm building. Even trying to execute let x = 3 in fsi.exe has the same problem.
Anyone else had this problem?
Yes, this is a known problem, see https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/9295.
While the next fix isn't out yet, you can resolve it by manually copying the missing assemblies. The exact list of missing assemblies is mentioned in this comment. The cause was explained by Kevin Ransom to be that the Setup for MSBuild didn't get the new dependencies for fsc.exe.
Note that FSI from within Visual Studio shouldn't have this issue, nor should building from within Visual Studio 2019. The way I understand it, only the MSBuild Tools are affected.
For posterity, in case the links go dead, the workaround in the Github issue is to just copy the dlls over:
copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\*.dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\FSharp"
Edit: the source path given above may not always be correct, depending on what versions of VS you've installed. Alternatively, try:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Preview\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
If you only want to copy the minimal set that's needed, just copy only these files, that's the diff set:
System.Buffers.dll
System.Memory.dll
System.Numerics.Vectors.dll
System.Reflection.Metadata.dll
System.Resources.Extensions.dll
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll
System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.dll

Any suggestions?
