I had this same issue. I tried compiling and running Nop 4.4.4 on VS 2022. I was able to resolve it by completely deleting all bin and obj folders. And then running it from VS 2019. Also, I copied over a fresh copy of 4.4.4. I noticed VS 2022 tried to change some .csproj files. I also am running VS 2022 17.0.2 and VS 2019 16.11.7.
We have same issue only in vs code on Mac computer. Same project runs on VS 2019. The problem dll's is wellknown third party is like Nop-Templates's Sevenspikes.... dlls
This helped me while I'm using VS2019: when you open VS, don't click the .sln file within your local source folder, instead: open vs, choose open a project and then select your project .sln file outside your folder. (consider I'm using my personal git and cloned my project through it) also don't remember to clean and rebuild you project before testing again.
