Visual Studio 2019 or 2022 IDE don't save new bookmarks of project created in earlier IDEs - visual-studio

I developed a project in visual studio 2012 year ago but migrated to visual studio 2019. However, the bookmarks and the files opened won't save in the newer IDE. I have tried database and environment data clean up, cleaned solution and built, but it won't work. I have asked at least two times on Microsoft forum, now migrated elsewhere, to no avail. Any help?

Visual studio upgrade

I have a Visual studio web forms project that is written in vb.net 4.8. It was originally built in VS 2012. At some point, I got a free version of VS 2019 to try and opened the project. After a few weeks, I scrapped VS 2019. Now when I open the project in VS 2012, it churns for a moment and VS crashes.
VS must have upgraded my project to work with 2019 and added some pieces that don't work in VS 2012.
How do I downgrade the project so it opens in VS 2012? or can I rebuild the project so it works in VS 2012?
I tried downloading VS 2019 and opening the project. The project kept crashing VS. I created a new project in VS 2019 and imported the files in. After adding them to the project, I had about 5 warning preventing the program from building. Once those were addressed, I could run the project. I will now have to upgrade to the latest version of VS.

Upgrading Visual Studio Project from 2010 to 2017

I have an older project that was written in VS 2010 a few years back, and now I need to make some changes to it. I'm personally working in VS 2017, and for some reason, every item in the designer needs to be resized and realigned. Is this common? Because my coworker opened it in VS 2013 and it looked fine.

Visual studio 2003 solutions to Visual Studio 2013 solutions

My question is about the different versions of Visual Studio and an effective way to update the web applications or websites that were created in visual studio 2003 to visual studio 2010 all to visual studio 2013. Most of the solution files on the web server for the various applications or websites have not been updated since 204. But some of the .aspx.vb files have been updated in 2012. Not sure if there is a missing .sln file or that the files were all updated manually using notepad or something? I need to update the content of several of these projects and not sure where to begin. Looking for the most effective way to update these files. Anyone with experience transitioning from different versions of Visual Studio working with visual basic may have these same questions. Some of these include crystal reports from visual studio 2005.
Have you opened the .sln file in VS2013? I know when I was transitioning projects from VS2008 to VS2013 it prompted me to convert them when I tried to open it in VS2013. When and if there were any issues it showed you what didn't match up and what might be obsolete. Might be a good starting point if you haven't already tired.

Migrating report app from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2013

I have looked through a several forums and cannot find an answer to my specific question so don't hurt me if I have asked something that has been answered before. I have a SSRS report project that was created in Visual Studio 2005 (then upgraded to 2008) before my time at my company and i need to upgrade it to 2013 Visual studio. I know normally you just open the file and use the migration wizard, however i get an error because my Visual Studio 2013 does not recognize the .rptproj file and thus does not fully migrate the solution. I have a copy of VS Shell 2010 that was able to upgrade it to 2010 but this did not help me to migrate it to 2013. Is there a way i can migrate this over without having to buy more copies of VS to do a stair step migration?
You can first check if the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 module is installed on your computer.

Disable visual studio 2013 old project converter

Recently, I installed VS 2013 for my own computer. However, I still have some project that created by VS 2010. The uncomfortable thing is, my VS 2013 automatically convert my old project to VS 2013.
Is there anyway to disable the automation conversion of VS 2013?
EDIT: Instead of opening the project by VS2013, it should work well with Visual Studio Versions Selector. However, the issue can appear again on project that was used to be developed on VS2003, VS2005 and VS2008
