not able to install visual studio 2022 using visual studio installer

Question

I have downloaded visual studio installer from "https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/" once its downloaded the installer file, when I click on install it says "Getting visual studio installer ready" and nothing happens after that. my internet connection is good and able to browse and download other files.

Tried this solution as well https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/216897/visual-studio-2019-error-unable-to-download-instal.html and also tried after restarting machine. still having the same problem. you can find the screenshot for more information.

can anyone suggest what could be the issue. thanks
