Yesterday I upgraded my Windows 10 machine from the Insider Preview to the original release. From that moment on when I try to open solution(even when trying to create new one) in Visual Studio 2013 the program crashes and stops. In the event viewer I found that the crash is due to a heap corruption in the ntdll.dll but that didn't help me. The program runs smoothly in safe mode but crashes every time with every solution when not in this mode.
When this happened I thought that it should be common problem for Windows 10 and VS2013 but I can't find anything relevant in the net for almost a day. Does anybody else experience such issue or similar? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Note: I worked with VS2013 and Windows 10 Insider preview for almost a month and experienced no issues. That's why I think the problem is connected with the official release of Windows 10.
You might want to try un-installing VS2013 and then re-installing it on your machine, this works for almost all of the bugs that I encounter when upgrading my OS. Also, make sure you are installing VS2013 Update 5, which was released on the 20th July this year, and not the old VS2013 Update 4 (Or possibly earlier if you are using an old installer) as this may fix compatibility issues, which is likely as Microsoft would have made the most recent version of the software compatible with its latest OS. Even better, try installing Visual Studio 2015 as this will almost certainly be Windows 10 compatible as it is the newest release of the Visual Studio software.
Edit: Don't forget to back up any projects you want to keep before making any changes! This is important as you could easily lose a lot of work when un-installing VS2013.

I installed Visual Studio 2015 on my machine before I upgraded to Windows 10 a few days ago. I'm having a really hard time installing W10 universal apps. At first, the option for universal apps wasn't listed under project templates. After a few restarts and back and forth, the option was there, the installation of the tools took several hours (I'm on an SSD so installations usually happens within a few minutes). Once it got installed, I either got an error message about loading assemblies, or that the project is not compatible with my version of Visual Studio (I'm running Visual Studio 2015 enterprise).
I have tried repairing and uninstalling then reinstalling/repairing VS, where the result is usually that the situation gets somewhat worse. Now, only test projects are listed under the Windows UAP section (Not Universal). I have also tried both uninstalling and reinstalling the Windows 10 SDK separately with Visual Studio without any effect. Is there a way to perform a complete clean uninstall of Visual Studio 2015 without performing a reinstall of my OS or is there some cache that I should clear?
I uninstall the windows 10 two sdks using the VS installer then open VS again. The universal template showing up. Then install the SDK again and it worked. Hope this will help.
I used to use VS 2010 with TFS 2010 and everything was fine. Since I upgraded to VS 2012 and at the same time TFS 2012 build progress indicator is not working correct. It shows Started 0 seconds ago and it will stay until end of the build, then says build is done. I tried using VS 2013 Preview and nothing different.
Is this TFS 2012 problem or Visual Studio? How can that be solved?
Thanks for the help!
Have a look in this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\Build\UISettings
for a ReportPollingInterval node. If it's there then delete it (if it's not then this probably doesn't answer your question).
I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and now it is working fine. Maybe I shouldn't say upgrading to Windows 8.1 will fix it. Because I have another machine that has Windows 8.1 Preview and I can still reproduce it. Upgrading from Windows fixed it. Thanks everyone for helping!
I'm having graphics issues with Visual Studio 2010. When I open a solution only part of the UI renders. Entire sections like the solution explorer will be missing.
This only happens after I've had Visual Studio running for a while and have opened/closed a variety of solutions.
It "feels" like some sort of a GDI handle leak because the problem goes away once I reboot.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit. I've updated my graphics drivers, installed the latest patches, etc. I can't find any postings about this on stackoverflow or doing a variety of Google searches.
Any ideas?
It's a known issue, seems like no fix is coming in SP1, see https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/575376/visual-studio-2010-code-editor-problems?wa=wsignin1.0 & the workaround described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2023207 (disabling HW-Acceleration & Visual Experience adjustment did the trick for me).
Try also to update the graphic driver to their latest version.
The Visual Studio 2010 UI has been rewritten from the ground up in WPF. Myself and a couple of other devs in our team are experiencing the same issues (various hardware and software but my software is the same as yours). In our case closing and reopening VS solves it with no reboot required.
It's a cracking product but roll on SP1.
Running Visual Studio under Administrator (Run as Administrator) fixes the problem for me.
Does Visual Studio 2010 RC play nicely with Visual Studio 2008?
I am wondering if I need to setup a Virtual Machine to play with VS 2010 or if I can just install it on my Dev machine.
If it messes up VS 2010 then that is sad but ok. If it messed up VS 2008 then I would be in trouble.
Has anyone tried this out? Does it work well? Poorly?
Thanks for any answers.
I've had no problems. Microsoft has designed the last several versions of Visual Studio to be able to co-exist side-by-side.
That said, VS 2010 is an RC, so it is still a pre-release. And even after it goes RTM, it's still a complex product and like any complex software install there can be bugs. I wouldn't expect serious problems, but there's always the fraction of a percent that do run into issues. So I'd still plan to install it on a day when you'd have cycles to deal with potential issues (if nothing else, installing it on my machine that hadn't had OS updates installed in a while required at least 2 reboots).
Yes this works and is a supported scenario. My advice is to install 2008 first then 2010. This is the setup i have on multiple computers.
has worked for me without any issues so far. I would follow JaredPar's advice though, install 2008 first, then 2010.
I never trust the "plays nice with others" claims because I've been bit by it before. They supposedly co-exist, but I still put it in a VM.
See this blog post.
Visual Studio 2010 / .NET Framework 4 RC Ready for General Download
I haven't installed it on my machine but my manager has and after we looked at it we decided it's best not to go there yet for two reasons:
1) We have to go through the whole conversion process again, which after our experience with 1.1 -> 2.0 wasn't very enticing.
2) We caused an error within the first couple minutes of playing around that worked fine on VS2008 leading us to believe it's not quite ready for primetime yet anyways. (It was adding a method in the class diagram that caused VS to crash for some reason).
Just my two cents though.
edit: I just found another great example, fifth one down: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Tell-a-programmer.aspx
I've had no problems either. And I didn't with VS2010 beta 2 and VS2008 either.
I have both of them on my machine, so far no problems
I havent go into too much testing with my VS 2008 projects in 2010, but it does look like it works fine with VS 2010 RC.
Also, both versions seem to run fine on my machine. (I have also VS 2003 on my local as well)
Bearing in mind its the Release Candidate version, is should be very reliable in this area.
I've run into an error with IIS and VS2010 -- it's solved by re-running the .NET 3.5 version of aspnet_regiis.

I installed 2010 with 2008 already installed. I had tons of hangs, crashes and general malfunctions. Reinstalling 2008 didn't help until I removed every trace of 2010 from registry.
I've installed 2010 with 2008 on this machine for silverlight development.. I haven't noticed any problems except for file associations all goto the 2010 version rather than what I'd prefer opened in 2008 by default. (2010 to me is much slower than 2008)
Are there any conflicts with having any combination of Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and/or 2008 installed? I noticed a related question here but wanted a more general answer.
6, 2000/2001 (I can't remember which is .net 1.0), 2003, 2005, 2008... of course within .NET you may have issues with getting the right solution with the right version. I haven't really seen any conflicts in particular.
Just make sure you only have RTM versions and not Beta or RC versions installed. You'll have no end of pain if you don't cleanly remove the beta or RC versions before installing the RTM versions.
I have all 3 installed and have had no adverse problems...knocking on wood
6/2002/2003/2005/2008, I believe, can all coexist.
Though just this weekend I purged 'em all except 2008 as it went totally mad and stopped showing the build output. Plus my splash screen wasn't right. Now it is.
I've got 2005 and 2008 installed concurrently.
2008 is a superset of 2005, so I have no reason whatsoever to have them both, I just haven't gotten around to un-installing it yet
The only minor problem I had was that I installed 03 after 08, and all my solutions then became assigned to 03. Assigning them to the version selector instead was all I needed to do.
Yes no problems, and I typically have 2-3 versions installed at the same time. 2003 is the one I haven't used much, but my production code is currently split between 2005, 2008, and 2010. over the next year all the 2005 code will be moved to 2010 and .NET 4, so it will be installed.
I would have VS6 installed for legacy support but I have to run at it in a VM because Win7 doesn't like it.
