Sorry for the last post. But i have solved this issue atleast on my and my students computers.
It had too do with letters like Å Ä Ö if you have these letters on a folder or on a script visualstudio wont open your scripts. Removing these letters and visualstudio and Unity works fine. This is however a very annoying little bug plz fix!

We have had to downgrade to 2019.4.12, not a big deal, but we have a team of game designers whose tools depend on this functionality . I hope this will be fixed in the next LTS release.

However, good practice for mapping hierarchy of your project right into your brain!

Or simply rightclick on a header of the component, not so bad -

As a workaround (which is painful, but still better than nothing) :
In inspector, where the script component is, there's 3 small dots. Click them and from the dropdown select "Edit script". It opens Visual Studio. -

Seriously, lads. How can something like this go into the LTS?
You add new LTS version, and it has such a HUGE error.
Nothing seems to work.
Please fix this ASAP.
What's next? Hide mouse cursor in editor? :) -

This simple little bug is a workflow crusher when you have lots of scripts.

Any one seeing this, a short-term workaround is to switch your inspector to debug mode.
