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.

There is a lot about about changing setting in Visual Studio on stackoverflow. All of them start with go to 'File' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Settings'
Ref: Remove trailing spaces automatically or with a shortcut
But there is not 'Preferences' when I click on 'File' from top menu.
Could anyone give advise where is settings now/how to get access to them, please
Visual Studio 2019
Thanks
Visual Studio (one version of which is Visual Studio 2019) is a completely different application from Visual Studio Code. Information about one will not generally be applicable to the other.
For instance, Visual Studio Code has a "preferences" submenu in its file menu, whereas Visual Studio has most of its options available under "Tools->Options". (The preferences themselves will also be different, so this isn't just a matter of finding it in a different menu.)
Try Tools->Options, depending on what you wish to configure.
I have Visual Studio installed in one PC in which text editor is format redundant code by color (as shown in the screen shot).
I want to activate this in visual studio copy installed on another PC.
That is not a Visual Studio feature, it is one of ReSharper Code Inspection features, hence you'll need to install ReSharper on the computer where you'd like to see this code coloring...
This is a visual studio (mine is 2015) feature and should be enabled. By default it should be enabled, but am not sure what version of visual studio you are using. You can enable it by going to Visual Studio -> Tools menu -> Options
Is there a way to have more than one Output window open in Visual Studio at the same time?
It is not possible with the built-in Visual Studio settings.
The only workaround would be to develop VS extension which adds an additional custom Output Window maybe.
I have an issue with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2010 Express, when I right click on a project structure in the solution explorer, (on the references folder) and select "Add Reference" the Visual Studio 2010 window flashes as focus as left the window and then focus immediately returns and there is no new window that allows me to add references. This problem persists even after a clean install, and across multiple products (VS 2010 Ultimate and VS 2010 Express) I am using windows 7, and I have to think this problem ids outside of VS 2010, but this is the only issue I am currently facing.
Its like the references window (that allows you to pick the new reference) is automatically being closed.
Thanks.
I just had the same problem.
Do you have a tablet that you're using? If you enable the Tablet PC Input Service it should work again. There seem to be some dependencies on this service and/or conflicts with my Wacom drivers that caused the issue in the first place.

Add Reference or existing item popup is not show then answer is :
Window Button +R then type "services.msc" > search "Tablet PC Input Service" and the right Click on Start.
it will work correctly.
vsjitdebugger gets more annoying when i switched to windows 7. :(
i'm a commandline person (vim, msbuild and vsjitdebugger) when developing .NET. I'm looking for a better vsjitdebugger alternative that automatically attaches the application to visual studio (or any application that is less annoying than vsjitdebugger.)
TIA :)
From here
To begin Just-In-Time debugging when
an error occurs
In the Just-In-Time Debugging dialog
box, in the Possible Debuggers list,
click New instance of Visual Studio
2010 or click an instance of Visual
Studio 2010 that is already running.
To use Visual Studio automatically for
all future crashes, click Set the
currently selected debugger as the
default.
If you want to choose what types of
code you will be able to debug, click
Manually choose the debugging engines.
If you do not choose this option,
Visual Studio automatically selects
the appropriate debug engines for the
type of code in your program.
Click OK.
