Can't run all the XUnit tests on my Visual Studio 2017. Version 15.6.4

They can be viewed in TestExploer and when I run them from there I get something like this:

I tried deleting %TEMP%\VisualStudioTestExplorerExtensions - nothing helped.

The thing is, several days ago I could run them. I did not change a thing. Just have no idea what is going on.

Also I had this warning

I had problems with xUnit. Some important things:

1) Make sure the "Microsoft Visual Studio Test Platform" extension is enabled

2) Make sure "Test => Test Settings => Default Processor Architecture" matches your build.

3) Install nuget package 'xunit.runner.visualstudio'
