This may the reason!
I'm on .NET Core 3.1.
I thought WinForms Core was already LTS, which would mean .NET Core 3.1 as .NET 5 isn't LTS 
Doesn't matter anymore though, switched to .NET Framework as I needed a library that was incompatible with .NET Core

Control binding isn't working in .Net 5 last I checked (recently). I'd recommend testing. Net 6 Nov 9th and avoid .Net 5 for winforms.

I jumped in on .Net 1.1 and in .Net 3.5 I would say the baby was born 
As it is a small tool I would stay in WinForm, for major developments chose a different stack.

Yeah, mainly doing WinForms as I have no hosting, nor does this party have hosting or money for it.
So a good old desktop application it is, and WinForms is still the simplest IMHO

I have a small utility for reading log files from Azure blob space, all works as expected. I had no particular problems but it's a single window very simple application.

I've used .Net to open and read from an excel file and also suffered some crashes until I made it work. The main problem was (AFAICT) that once you create an Excel instance, it becomes a sink for input events, and if any other thread in your application also eats Windows events, this can lead to conflicts.
I solved these problems by opening the sheet, reading whatever I needed into a data structure, and immediately closing it again. I. e. not just closing the excel file, but also the excel application instance! Put all that into a try ... catch block and you're golden.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I'm using Spreadsheetlight for this, so I have none of those issues
|
|
|
|
|
In the team I work in, we always pull all the data out of files into memory and close the file out. We also avoid using an external app to pull the data, so in this case, we would use ACE or INTEROP to rip the data directly from the spreadsheet, close the file and then do whatever else it is we would need or want to do.

I have some programs I made in NET Framework. Some have 180,000+ lines of code, including "in-house" controls, PDF generator and "visor", intensive graphics and lots of forms and controls.
I compiled the DLLs having the in-house controls in NET 5.0 without changes. Then I linked them to my programs and compile everything. 2 or 3 errors in calls not supported yet by NET Core, that I must rewrite and after that, everything worked OK. No Visual Studio crashes, no problems, no hidden controls... I do not know what could be wrong with your program.

Not sure if you know about this, but our shop uses this assembly to read/write excel files.
it handles .xls and .xlsx

I would use .NET Framework instead. Besides the issues you mentioned, I discovered the hard way that .NET Core didn't even allow me to view the Tab Order function. Once I switched to Framework, I was better off. Your results may vary, but I'd say it's worth a shot.

I spent a week building out a fairly small Forms application in .NET core (in VB no less!).
While I was able to make it work, I decided after the first week to transition back to Framework for the following reasons:
1. Speed of design - I'm not sure why, but the GUI design is dog-slow for CORE - probably 4x faster in Framework.
2. Build was much slower
3. I could never get my.settings variables to work correctly (seemed to be a known issue)
4. An unreasonable number of IDE crashes or freezes
5. LOTS of little things that just didn't work as expected.
My suggestion is to stick with Framework for at least another year. Let people with lots of free time and patience deal with Microsoft bugs.

determined that was a lie
Who could imagine - commercial company will lie! 
I said before and I repeat - don't be stupid to jump on "new" .NET Core - it is not. It's clumsy try of indian dancers to repeat success of MS Java creators. Never happen again.
.NET (being just virtual machine) was created.... WINDOWS ONLY(!). Unbelievable stupidity. But too much time past and too much code is done. WinForms STILL the best solution for "graphics intensive" apps. WPF still slow, because of many technical issues and architecture.
I really cry Gates and Ballmer left the company - THEY was base of the solid work, THEY hire proper professionals. Now it's just bunch of monkeys after 1-week courses "C# for total idiots". Pity, but MS as a company is walking corpse.

I'm running Windows.Forms in .NET 5 just fine here. I personally don't consider this particular piece of code anything else but a prototype (which will get replaced with some dialect of XAML later), but it works fine.
That's with .NET 5 though, never tried with .NET Core.

Same here! These are issues I faced
- Random VS hang
- Form Designer hang
- Controls not moving around properly
- Properties window hang

Not bad - it's kinda damp today so I won't be doing much to it (I don't have a workshop, so I only do woodwork on dry days as rain and power tools is a bad combination).
I spent far too much time yesterday trying to plan the cuts on two sheets of 8' by 4' birch ply to get the panels out with the grain all running in the same direction and missing the defects until I realised that this was a job for a CAD package ...

No, I have to drag it all out on the patio, and drag it all away again when I'm done for the day ...

Just keep making them easy enough that they're solved by the time I get out of bed! 
I don't think I would've gotten this one, though.
