My Visual Studio has been behaving oddly. It was working fine for over a year and I took a break from it for about a month. Now every time I try to do anything on it VS crashes. I tried uninstalling. Switching to VS2015 and it still crashed, so I switched back to VS2013 and it still crashes. Honestly I don't know what the cause of the issue is as I don't believe I've changed anything.
I just tried starting a new project and writing "hello world" and it crashed before I could finish typing it up.

I have changed the name of something and now it froze, probably won't work until I kill Visual Studio (devenv.exe) again. Now the first time the thing hung and crashed itself, using resource monitor to resume first it was suspended and now i unsuspended it and it now said process not responding, so I had no choice but to wait and I killed it because it just wasn't responding. It wasn't hung waiting for an extension or resource to clear it just hung suddenly. The first time it froze happened when I try to change a code because I got too many errors, luckily, I have everything saved but now I'm scared I'm gonna lose my work. I need help fixing my visual studio issue, but now I can't code if the thing just sits and freezes. This is the second time. Help me, I don't want to have to lose my work.
Well, Visual Studio never crashes on me, I am on Windows 11 and I run the latest version of Visual Studio. All I was trying to do was change code because of constant errors. This is ridiculous, even more ridiculous if nobody wants to or willingly helps me
I use Visual Studio Community 2019 with C++ (no .Net). Yesterday I updated to version 16.7.1. Ever since then, Visual Studio hangs on exit at the step "Unloading Projects". No projects are unloaded, and the progress bar never starts moving. The program simply hangs and is unresponsive. The only way out is to kill the process.
It also hangs whenever I try to change the Configuration target for the solution. Both issues occur on any of my solutions that I open. I have tried using Visual Studio Installer to repair the install, but it makes no difference. The installer does report one issue: Couldn't repair Microsoft.AspNetCore.TargetingPack.3.1.3.1.3 But this hardly seems like it matters to my Win32 projects.
This problem definitely started as soon as I updated to 16.7.1. I don't recall the previous version I had, but I had just updated a few days before so it was probably 16.7. I am posting to see if others have this problem and if anyone has found a solution (other than falling back a version). I will limp along with it for now.
Same happened to me. Just use visual studio 2017. Only thing that fixed it for me.
Just suddenly over the past day I'm having an issue with Visual Studio 2015 where it takes an age to start debugging anything. Even a simple console application with one line will take over 3 minutes just to start. Running without debugging is normal.
Things I've tried:
Enable Just My Code checked under General Debugging options
Created local cache of Symbols
Removed all Breakpoints
Deleted all user temp files
Reinstalled Visual Sudio
Nothing has had any effect. When starting debugging it just hangs and VS becomes unresponsive for a couple of minutes until it then will start debugging. Once running it is fine. I don't understand why this has suddenly just started happening.
My company have recently pushed McAfee out to all machines, but this has been running on mine for a while now without any issue so not sure why it would suddenly be causing this now. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you fix it?
I have disabled Just my code and disabled also diagnostic tools during debug in Tools->settings->debug
For the past couple of days, Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 have been hanging during debug mode. Most of the time, i dont get this issue until further into my project. When i press the Start Button, everything continues as normal, but then hangs with this message at the bottom of visual Studio statusBar.
Inside Task Manager, when i try to force taskkill, or end process/process tree, this continues to stay present in my running processes.
Even after a reinstall, nothing seems to help it. I did see somewhere on the Microsoft Developer forums where a person was told it was something to do with the windows sybmol server?. What do i need to do to fix this issue i am having?
After this occurs once, i am forced to reboot my computer. Even if i open Visual Studio after this happens, it still has the same issue.
My Visual Studio crashes each time I try to debug my ASP.net application.
I've been working on this application for months and only now has this issue come up. I've tried rebooting to no avail.
When I press F5, Visual Studio immediately freezes up and displays no error message. I also get the exact same behavior when I use the "Attach to Process" option to start the debugger.
The problem happens only with a particular application I'm working on. If I create a new project, I can debug that project, but as soon as I open up my original project, it's the same story all over again.
Also, I should point out that the "development server" icons appear in the System tray and do not disappear after the frozen Visual Studio 2008 is terminated.
Has anyone else encountered this?
I had the sysadmin re-install VS2k8 for me. That fixed the problem.
For some odd reason, the uninstall process took a very long time that surprised even the sysadmin who uninstalled and reinstalled it for me. I wonder if that could have anything to do with the problem.
Anyhow, the reinstall got me up and running again.
