I've got a problem with Visual Studio 2013 Professional Edition since this morning. I cannot see the main menu (see screenshot). The only extension installed are "Productivity Power Tools".
I already tried:
devenv /ResetUserData
devenv /ResetSettings
But the main menu keep disappeared...
Any ideas?
Solved: Changed the UI language using devenv /LCID from german to english and backwards and everything works fine! Thx!

I've lost all the color formatting in the source view in Visual Studio and can't get it back. I tried to import a new scheme but nothing helps.
Anyone?
Had this a while ago, these steps fixed it for me.
close all running instances of Visual Studio
open a "Run" window and type in devenv /resetuserdata
edit
perhaps this might work for you, its for 2012 but it might work for 2013
Here is a simple solution. Go to the directory where devenv is (for 2012 RC), and type devenv.exe /setup. It will fix your problem.
devenv.exe is usually in something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE.
Edit: It has been suggested that you do this from the Visual Studio command prompt (Start>Microsoft Visual Studio>Tools>Visual Studio Command Prompt), and/or make sure your command prompt has administrator permissions.
How can I get user type C# syntax highlighting working again in VS 2012 RC?
This did the trick!
devnev.exe /ResetSettings

Lost formatting in Visual Studio
I am having an issue with my Visual Studio 2010 IntelliSense, which stopped working recently.
It had worked earlier.
I had gone through the following steps
Visual Studio C# IntelliSense not automatically displaying
but that too not worked on my system.
Here I am attaching the screenshot for your reference,
Thanking in advance
This is a known feature/bug (feature with a bug?), which can be resolved by restarting Visual Studio.
It appears, that this behaviour is shown by Visual Studio if you press Ctrl + Alt + Space.
I'd recommend resetting your setting like Dai suggestested, if a VS-retart does not work.

You can try resetting the visual studio by using visual studio command prompt. take visual studio command prompt and enter this command devenv /resetsettings
When I click on the home-icon of Team Explorer, I get the following error:
Page '312e8a59-2712-48a1-863e-0ef4e67961fc' not found instead of all the options.
I have this error since I reinstalled the Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate trial and installed the Visual Studio 2012 Premium edition. Repair and reinstall didn't work out.
To fix this, run this from the Visual Studio command prompt as administrator:
devenv /setup
It will not mess up your environment, and you can just continue to use Visual Studio afterwards was my experience.
I had the same error in Visual Studio 2013 and tried:
Control Panel → Programs .... → Visual Studio → Repair
It did not work
devenv /setup
It did not work
devenv /clearcache
devenv /updateconfiguration
It did not work
And then THE solution:
*Close all Visual Studio instances
Delete the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache folder
Start Visual Studio
It is explained in more detail in this blog post: When the EditorPackage does not load correctly
I had this error on Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate - Windows 8:
And I solved this problem running this command:
X64: devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
x86: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
I faced similar issue. Running devenv /setup did not help me.
Just wanted to share some additional info:
At first, devenv /setup did not help me as well. Then I realized that I was using the wrong Visual Studio command prompt version.
Make sure that you run devenv /setup for the appropriate Visual Studio version.
For example: for Visual Studio 2013, use the "Developer Command Prompt" under the Visual studio 2013 "Visual Studio Tools" folder.
*And like it stated in the selected answer, run as administrator.
I ran the suggested command: devenv /setup. It didn´t work for me. (Visual Studio 2015)
Then after that I tried something different:
-> Run Visual studio as administrator, after ran the command.
Then the problem was solved.
Running Visual Studio as administrator resolves this for me.
After I reinstalled my Visual Studio 2012 Trial, I've never deleted the documents directory. In this directory there were some backup files. This maybe have caused the problem.
After deleting this directory and installing Visual Studio 2012 Premium again the problem was solved.
I faced a similar issue. Running devenv /setup did not help me.
I found Fixing 312e8a59-2712-48a1-863e-0ef4e67961fc-not-found-vs-2012. This link suggests that I might have recently installed some Visual Studio extensions, which might have corrupted the Visual Studio maintained cache. I uninstalled a couple of the latest Visual Studio extensions, and it solved the issue after Visual Studio's restart. Visual Studio is able to connect with TFS :-).
One can find Visual Studio extensions at menu Tools → *"Extensions and Updates...". Go to the "All" section under Installed section. It will show all Visual Studio extensions.
I had a similar error, and then I tried running "devenv /setup" and no good result. That's was because you don't not trying with specific version Visual Studio command prompt. I then opened the command prompt for the specific version "Visual Studio 2013", and the problem was solved.
I had the same exact issue in Visual Studio 2013. I renamed ComponentModelCache to ComponentModelCache2, and it fixed it.
C:\Users\{..}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache
I have been using Visual Studio for a while and found that when I open visual studio and open the project all the files that were open last time remain open.
This causes my Visual Studio to freeze or crash on startup.
I am using a lot of plugins in my installation and wonder if there is a way to prevent this from happening.
Have you tried resetting user settings? It did help me:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /ResetUserData
Run: Devenv /ResetSkipPkgs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241276%28VS.80%29.aspx
or
You are probably looking for the /SafeMode command line switch:
devenv.exe /SafeMode
This will start Visual Studio with all add-ins disabled.
You can change your Visual Studio 2010 start up settings.
Tools --> Options --> Startup --> At startup --> Show empty environment --> Save
Visual Studio has a plugins limit. Use only plugins that best for you. There is a list for best Visual Studio 2010 plugins for developers.
Visual Studio 2010 - recommended extensions
devenv.exe /ResetSettings
or
devenv.exe /ResetSetting
Worked fine for me
I had the same issue with Community 2015 version. I solved it with Vidas Vasiliauskas suggestion, which was to erase user settings.
The thing is that I previously had enterprise 2015 version, in which I was logged in with my Microsoft account. When trying to open community version, it tried to do so with that same account, which I believe was the cause of the issue.
Therefore, I would suggest to those with the same problem to run the following command at Command Line Prompt:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /ResetUserData
In my case, VS 2013 Professional was hanging on startup because the license was no longer valid.

I had to get an updated subscription from my employer.
When it hangs on the splash screen:
It could be that an anti-virus solution is blocking Visual Studio.
Kaspersky Internet Security 16.0.1.445 makes Visual Studio 2015 hang on the splash screen. The older version 16.0.0.614 works fine.
Clear the tag's elements in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
Also do the same with C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
The tag should just be <runtime/>
If your Visual Studio 2019 is stuck due to a faulty extensions, here is a way to get it back to normal.
First, start Visual Studio in safe mode (devenv.exe /SafeMode) and uninstall the troublemaker.
Hereafter, if Visual Studio 2019 is still unresponsive, you need to do the following:
Browse to %LOCALAPPDATA% and go to Microsoft -> VisualStudio -> 16.0_bb6da863 (or whatever version you have installed)
Delete the following folders (all cache related):
ComponentModelCache
ImageLibrary
MFECacheBackup
Extensions\*.cache
For reference:
Hope it helps you and safe a VS repair/reinstall.
Happy coding :-)
I was having this issue when using the Git source-control plugin.
I ran devenv.exe /SafeMode
And then in Options -> Source Control -> Plug-in Selection made sure "None" or "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" was selected. After that, VS started normally.
Check Task Manager. I had a Setup.exe running (not sure what it was installing), but once I killed it, VS unfroze.
I have got recently VS2017 stucked on start up . so I did this and worked for me :
1 - start cmd as admin : run the following:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE"
devenv.exe /SafeMode
2- once VS is started , go to
Tools => Extentions and Updates :
then uninstall all plug-ins that installed recently ( notice the installed date ) and unnecessary ones)
This helped me: I deleted all SDK, JDK & JRE folders that had been rooted in VS settings before. After that I used devenv.exe /ResetUserData and devenv.exe /ResetSettings.
Worked for me on Visual Studio 2015.
This is becuase of rendering IDE UI try this hope it will resolve
1- Open "Visual Studio"
2- Select "Options" from the top menu
3- Navigate to "Environment => General"
4- Unchecked "Optimize rendering for screens with different pixel densities"
5- Restart visual studio
I installed the ReSharper evaluation version and uninstalled it. Afterwards Visual Studio's Intellisense stopped working. I have restarted computer but I still have this problem.
Can anyone please help me here?
I am using Visual Studio 2005. Thanks.
Try opening Visual Studio Command Prompt and entering:
devenv.exe /ResetSettings
Try going to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# and checking all of the options under Statement completion. I think Resharper disables these upon installation.
Sometimes deleting the ncb file helps. Go to your solution directory and find the sln file, there will also be a file with the same name and the extension ncb. Make sure Visual Studio is closed (at least don't have that project open) and then delete that file. Don't worry Visual Studio will rebuild it for you.
The devenv.exe /ResetSettings was the only thing that worked for me. The full path in command prompt is as follows (for VS 2008)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE>devenv.exe /ResetSettings
took me a while to find so I thought I'd post this to help
devenv /ResetSettings worked after uninstalling ReSharper. I did not have to do a repair. I did verify that the settings were checked under Text Editor > C#, but ResetSettings was the only thing that worked.
You could try to reset your Visual Studio setting by
End Process devenv.exe from Tast Manager if it is running .(It can close your Browser and Visual Studio)
Run devenv /resetuserdata from Start -> Run
Hope It can help you.
Disable updating intelliSense like in this article:
http://amastaneh.blogspot.com/2007/11/disable-updating-intellisense.html
Eventhough for old version seems to work for me.
I would try a "repair" on the installation first. Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, select Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, click "Change/Remove". It will load up the install dialog and give you the option to do a "repair".
YMMV, but at least it should reset a lot of the VS resources to their "fresh" state.
