Hi Mahesh S,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
Firstly, please reboot and start visual studio installer to repair visual studio professional 2017(update visual studio to the latest version if it is needed) to check if you have corrupted package in the installation. after this, open visual studio and see if the issue persists.
In addition to this, see if you have msbuild assemblies in the GAC for some reason. In which case I would recommend removing them from the GAC entirely.
Please let us know if it works for you!
Best regards,
Joyce

Did you add any msbuild assemblies in GAC by yourself? If not, you don't need to run gacutil -u msbuild.
Can you able to create a new python project after repairing visual studio 2017 in visual studio installer? The others who has the similar issue with you solved it by repairing it.
in addition to this, please have a look at the similar thread:
