Dynamics CRM onpremise F5 issues open new record - dynamics-crm

We have an on-premise CRM version 8.2. Which was migrated from 2011 version. For the few custom entity while pressing F5 it opens a new record. Instead of refreshing the already created open record.
Came across the below link. But the resolution says close and open it. Which is currently we are doing as work around. But I need a solution to fix. Any help will be appreciated.

Outlook Add-in: deploying new version does not update in outlook

I am currently working on an existing office 365 outlook add-in.
I'm not using visual studio but eclipse on a mac.
I simply need to do some debugging to check the response of an api call, so I added my debug code and deployed the add-in on the hosted server.
Then, from the Office Admin Center I re-upload the add-in making it available to all users.
The original problem was that the updated version of the add-in did not update straight away in outlook.
I left it for a day and today outlook was serving the updated add-in but then I had to add some more debugging code and once redeployed the new add-in version again was not served in outlook.
Thinking it was a caching issue I deleted all the browser cache (Local Storage, Session Storage, Cache Storage).
Unfortunately since then the Add-in is not loading at all returning an Add-in error:
Uncaught Function ContextActivationManager_getAppContextAsync call failed. ErrorCode is -2, exception: Failed origin check
from outlook-web-16.01.js
I tried to re-deploy it updating the version in the manifest but still no success.
I cannot really afford to waste another day to wait for the new version to kick-in so I was wondering if there is a faster way? Am I doing something wrong in deploying the add-in? Is there a reason why uploading a new version of the add-in it doesn't get served straight away in outlook?
RESOLVED. Apparently there is nothing wrong with the add-in deployment. I have spoken directly to the outlook support team and they said that if you are using the outlook web app the plugin takes time to become available because it goes through a release process.
So either use the desktop version of outlook or wait at least half hour before the plugin finally becomes available.
The error I mentioned earlier looks like it is not related to the add-in deployment.

Outlook 2016 Add-In doesn't work for some users

We've created an Outlook add-in which integrates our custom CRM with Outlook. A command button is added to messages in read and compose mode. A function file is called on the button click.
The add-in manifest passes validation and installs properly on all machines. However on Outlook 2016 desktop (only) we are seeing an error on some machines. The exact error message says: “We’re sorry, we couldn’t access [NCS Outlook Add-in]. Make sure you have a network connection. If the problem continues, please try again later.” ([NCS Outlook Add-In] is the name of our add-in.)
Note that this message appears IMMEDIATELY after clicking the add-in command button. It does not first say “[NCS Outlook Add-in] is working on your request” like it add-ins do when an error has occurred.
We have tried Outlook logging and haven't found anything useful in the logs. We've checked settings and disabled other add-ins. We have also tested across machines with user accounts. The same user will have the error on one machine and not the other. In short, it seems that the error is machine specific and not profile related.
Version of Office 365 installed: 1705 (Build 8201.2209).
We experienced this exact behavior in Outlook 2016, the solution was to enable protected mode for the restricted and internet zones.
The easiest way to change this is in IE.
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab, and then select the Restricted Sites Zone.
Select the Enable Protected Mode check box, and then click OK.
Restart Internet Explorer.
Here is a little more information:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2761180/apps-for-office-don-t-start-if-you-disable-protected-mode-for-the-rest
Try this:
1) Close Outlook
2) Rename the folder C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.OLD
(Where %USERNAME% is current User Name.)
3) Start Outlook, Setup User Profile
4) Add/Test Add-In.
If that works, then something broken on old Outlook profile. But if same problem: Exit Outlook, delete the Outlook folder and rename Outlook.OLD back to Outlook.
I ran into this exact same problem after uninstalling Visual Studio 2015 on my development machine. (I had been using Visual Studio 2017 for Outlook add-in development.)
The problem went away as soon as I reinstalled Visual Studio 2017. The Outlook 2016 installation had nothing to do with the problem, I never changed Outlook or its profile at all.
This would indicate that the problem is somehow related to the SDK tooling on the machine...perhaps something to do with the .Net framework?
If I ran into this problem on a customer machine I would try reinstalling or repairing the .Net framework, or perhaps reinstalling Outlook (assuming it contains some add-in tooling that is broken.)
Just passing this on in case it helps anyone else.

Lost VSTS source control bindings in Visual Studio

Visual Studio 2015
Visual Studio 2013
Until recently used TFS for source control with Microsoft live id with my yahoo email.
Recent transition from TFS to VSTS.
Couple weeks ago devops switched my VSTS account to use company email instead of yahoo email.
After that in VS I couldn't use source control anymore,
was getting error: "TF30063: You are not authorized to access usga.visualstudio.com\DefaultCollection."
and not being able to bind to source control.
Devops removed my company-email-account and reactivated my yahoo-email-account
and source control in VS started to work again, and with VSTS now.
I have not used Visual Studio for a week or so.
Today I discovered that:
My solutions lost Source Control Bindings.
I can Not bind my solutions to Source Control Again in Visual Studio.
When I re-bind it tells me that status is 'invalid'.
I do Not get any other errors.
Happens for all solutions that used to work fine with source control.
I seem to have access to www.visualstudio.com -> mycompany.visualstudio.com
and can see my projects there.
Please help me to undestand what is going on and rebind.
Many thanks
This should be a cache related issue, try to delete VS and TFS cache and restart VS.
Also try to remove your account info which stored in Credential Manager (Control Panel-All Control Panel Items-Credential Manager-Windows Manager)
Then reconnect to VSTS in Visual Studio use your personal account, make sure selected the used workspace, get latest; or directly delete the old workspace, create a new one.
My issue was resolved the following way:
1. when I've started to use TFS four years ago, I've created Microsoft Live Id account using my Personal email
this year when our devops were switching us from TFS to VSTS
they have tried to enforce rule of everybody to use their Office email for MS Live Id account. So they have created new account for me with Office email
Then I have described issues
Problem was resolved by switching me back to using original MS account with my Personal email.
And
I had to delete existing workspaces in Visual Studio 2015
and create new ones for my solutions to rebind code to VSTS.
For some reason I had to repeat this process few times.
Hope it helps

Cannot locate resource workflowdesigner.xaml When creating XAML Workflow Activity in Visual Studio 2010 using CRM 2011 SDK

It's very annoying problem, I tried to search everywhere for a solution, but nothing!
Anyway, I have installed the CRM 2011 SDK addin for visual studio 2010 (ultimate) and I am trying to create a XAML Workflow Activity
I have added the CRM Workflow items to the toolbox using these instructions: Add Microsoft Dynamics CRM Workflow Activities to the Toolbox
When I try and drop a Workflow on the design surface it say in red box text "Could not generate view for Workflow"
Hovering over the text reveals a System.IOException that says "Cannot locate resource workflowdesigner.xaml"
I read on another post to dump all the SDK bin folder files into the PublicAssemblies of the VS, but that didn't work for me! Tried that on a Windows 8, Windows Server 2008... Still nothing!!!
How do I fix that?
That is a known bug. I contacted Microsoft and they confirmed it. I was told to look for a fix in UR 17. UR 16 was released in January so it should be out "soon".
