Is there are a way to disable all notifications in Visual Studio Community 2017?
I mean all of them, I never want to see that flag nagging me ever again.
This Visual Studio extension Hide Notifications Flag (by Michal Žůrek) will hide the notifications flag.
After installing this extension Visual Studio will not show
notifications flag in header next to feedback button. Notification
window with list of updates available will be still available in View > Notifications.
This is useful if you do not want to install some updates and the
distinctive color of the background of the flag distracts you from
working.
One may use a network monitor and firewall to disable access to all Microsoft servers... Provided you need to use network capabilities in the program at all (I do). If you don't need network, just block Visual Studio in Windows Firewall
I have an extension to Hide Sign in and Feedback buttons. To hide the notifications icon instead of the feedback icon, just change GetChild(o3, 1) to GetChild(o3, 0).
Right click on the Visual Studio notification in the Notifications window and click "Always Ignore"
Left-click on the ReSharper "Pencil and paper icon" in the bottom-right corner and choose "Dismiss all notifications"

Is there a way to disable the Web Publish Activity window in Visual Studio 2013?
I couldn't find any options to disable that feature.
I have no directly solution for it. But I found workaroud: I tab it to the right sidebar and set autohide for it. So, now this window take minimum screen place and isn't shown during every publish:
If you click the little x in the Web Publish Activity window, it will go away!
I had the same problem on Visual Studio 2017.
Mine was over everything every time and completely unreactive. Not even its close button worked.
The way I get rid of it was: menu Window > Reset Window Layout
I've been using VS 2013 and notice that I do not get a toast notification when new extension updates are available. We had this in VS 2012. Is anyone else seeing this or know how to get notifications without having to go check for them manually by clicking the updates node in the extensions gallery?
The notifications have been moved to the Notifications Hub. Click the little flag by the Quick Launch box in the upper right-hand corner.
I'm working on VS2010 and Windows 8.
whenever I run the application windows starts flickering which is quite weird.
I tried following things but didn't get any help out of it.
Open Tools/Options dialog
In the options tree select the Environment/General page.
Uncheck "Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance" then uncheck "Enable rich client visual experience" checkboxes.
Close the Tools/Options dialog
and I also tried making some changes in regedit.
Any other suggestions?
Set DoubleBuffered to True and see if it helps.
Also, try different settings in the BackgroundImageLayout, if you have an image for the background.
I have VS 2008 installed and have put Git and Git Extensions on my system. I'm running Windows 7. When I launch my VS and work, the buttons will go grey. If I run the mouse pointer over them, they show up again. If I minimize the window and bring it back up, they are there. If I click on one of the buttons, it works as expected. I'm trying to get other engineers to start using this tool, but this concerns them as to why it's happening. Has anyone else seen this and does anyone have any idea how to get it to stop happening?
Thanks,
Richard
I have the same behavior with Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012.
Disabling the GitExtension toolbar resolves the issue.
I have this issue only with projects without GIT repository.
Disabling the GitExtensions toolbar solved the issue for me. You can still use the add-in from the Git menu item in the Visual Studio menu bar. To disable it right-click the toolbar area and uncheck the checkbox next to the GitExtensions item.
Before I disabled the GitExtensions toolbar Visual Studio was unresponsive whenever I maximized or restored the size of the main window. I think this is a bug in the add-in. The VS2008 version seems to be pretty old and I'm not experiencing unresponsive behavior in VS2010 where a newer version is available.
I've finally joined the 21st century and got a second monitor. I can merrily undock all the side windows (Solution Explorer, ToolBox etc) and plonk them anywhere I like on either monitor. I can't though figure out how to undock a code window. Is it possible? (I'm using vs2008).
Multi monitor is a key functionality of the new vs 2010 as was requested by a lot of devs.
Actually there is a way to do that.
You just need to install a FREE addon from Exact Magic named StudioTools
It has this feature called "Tear Off Editor Window".
You just activate the tab you want to tear off and from the StudioTools manu select Tear Off Editor.
I also strongly recommend you check out the rest of the features, especially the "Smart Goto" which rocks!
Just for you (VS2010) ;-p
You could resize Visual Studio to cover both monitors, then right-click the code window and click New Vertical Tab Group
The "Tear Off Editor Window" feature in Studio Tools from Exact Magic is I think the only option if can't just extend the application over your monitors, if you have multiple monitors of different sizes or a mix of portrait and landscape orientation.
However you cannot download Studio Tools from the original site as they were bought by another company who no longer support the software. You can download it from the the Wayback Machine: Studio Tools Download Link
