I just re-installed windows, got visual studio back on it, cloned it from my github repo. And all of a sudden I can't see my preview design screen anymore. Tried a bunch of things already.

I got the lates jdk,
got the latest xamarin nuget packages.
Restarted VS,
rebuild/ clean solution
Got into my tools > options > xamarin, did see the option for splitview, but no matter what. it didnt bring it. I can't even see the 3 buttons for preview, split vertical and split horizontal.

if anyone knows the solutions i would be very happy to know, makes the desigining way easier instead of always building the project to see the change, even with hot reload on
