Running Azure functions locally gives "No runtime" error after .NET7 upgrade

I eventually found the solution for my case and I will post it here if anyone else faces it. As mentioned in a comment from [this](https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-dotnet-worker/issues/989) Github issue, I had to go to

Tools -> Options -> Projects & Solutions -> Azure functions and click
on the "Check for updates" button.

And then I had to download and install the pending updates.

This seems to have solved my issue. Hopefully this solution will help others too.
