I always used to have a TwinCAT remote status icon in the bottom bar of Visual Studio (2017 Community).
However, after a recent update of Visual Studio this icon disappeared. How can I get this icon back?
You can get this icon back by going to Tools > Options > Environment > General and make sure the option "Enable rich client visual experience" is selected.

I'm trying to make a C# application and I need the server explorer but I can't find it when I click on View menu. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015. Is it disabled or did I do something wrong?
If it is missing you can modify your View menu using the following instructions:
Open Visual Studio
Go to Tools > Customize...
Click the Commands tab
Select View from the Menu Bar dropdown (make sure the Menu Bar radio button is selected)
Scroll down the menu window until you see Solution Explorer and select it.
Click the Add Command... button
Scroll down the Categories list and select View
Scroll down the resulting Commands list and select Server Explorer
Click the OK button
The Bad
If you double click on the solution (SLN) file, the result is this.
If you close the solution, the result is this.
The Good
If you close Visual Studio 2015, and then just run it without opening any solution, the result is this.
The Ugly
Click on File,
Open,
Project/Solution,
Browse to your solution's folder,
Select the solution file,
Click the Open button.
There you go! You will now find it under the View menu. I have a screenshot to prove it.

Just a little something for posterity.

I recently moved to a new PC, and my visual studio is now showing all variables in some sort of memory address mode. Normally I would just see the simple properties and values. I can't figure out how to turn this off and get the standard view.

Aw dude, so simple:
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Right-click on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 shortcut and go to its Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab and uncheck "Run this program in compatible mode for:" and say Apply
Now start Visual Studio and open the project. You should be able to debug it.
Visual Studio 2013 is very slow on my machine. I have an i5 with 4 GB Ram.
I am using Bar mode for vertical scroll bar
I have disabled CodeLens
I have also tried the suggestions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894215
What other options should be disabled to increase performance?
Try Running it in administrator mode, or Change it's compatibility to windows xp service pack 3. You can do that in control pannel or right click on the icon and go to properties and change it in compatability mode.
Changing a couple of settings might help:
In Visual Studio, Navigate to: Tools > Options...
In general group un-check "Enable Rich Client Visual Experience " and "Automatically adjust visual experience" options.
I think this will help.
I accidentally deleted data tab in visual studio 2010 design mode. How can i bring it back??
You can retrieve any window under the View tab in VS, you're probably looking for the Solution Explorer
EDIT:
Right-click in your toolbox and select Show all or Reset toolbox
Can't figure out what happened and not addons were installed lately.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause it?
If it is isolated to Visual Studio go to Tools--> Options --> Keyboard and verify that CtrlC and CtrlV are still bound to Edit.Copy and Edit.Paste respectively.
Go to visual studio
In Tools > Options > Keyboard
set mapping scheme dropdonw to Default and click on Reset button.
Restart Visual studio at once.
Your problem may resolved.
I had the same issue with Visual Studio 2022. Go to Tools > Options > Keyboard and set "Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme:" to (Default) and click on reset. Then restart visual studio.
