Visual Studio 2013 Not allowing me to create a new project - visual-studio-2013

My Visual Studio 2013 had started to not let me make new projects (or see already made ones) on my computer.
I have installed it again 2 times, but alas, it did not work. All it did was take up 3 more gigs of space each time.
The "ok" button in the New Project Window is disabled, and it has been like this for months, and i was forced to use NetBeans!!
EDIT: I cannot click on the exclamation mark on the top left. Just a blank box when i hover over it.
FIX:
I completely uninstalled it, and reinstalled it by downloading it again from Microsoft. It works Now, as i now can click "ok" and make a new project.

I Reinstalled Visual Studio 2013, from scratch. By Uninstalling it (not repairing it) and installing it again, it works now!

Visual studio 2022 is not auto-completing certain methods

I have recently downloaded visual studio 2022 for use in Unity and it was working correctly for a while, but today it has stopped auto-completing certain method names such as OnMouseButtonDown() and OnTriggerEnter2D(). Other methods such as Start() and Update() do work, but a majority of Unity specific methods are no longer auto completed. I've tried restarting visual studio code, restarting my computer and uninstalling and reinstalling visual studio code, but the error still persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This problem can cause various of reasons, even some IDE bug (which Visual Studio 2022 has a large number) but there is pretty common solution for this one
Firstly you'll have to make sure, that your Game development with Unity workload is checked
So
Open Visual Studio Installer and click Modify button across your version of Visual Studio.
Click on a Workloads panel and make sure that Game development with Unity workload is checked as shown on the image
Click Modify button at the bottom right corner.
Then you need to ensure, that desired version of Visual Studio is set as a External Script Editor inside Unity engine
Open Unity
Edit -> Preferences -> External Tools
And make sure that External Script Editor set as a current version of like so
Click on Regenerate project files button and try to always open your scripts directly from Unity
Restart Unity after those steps

Unable to Sign In to Visual Studio 2013 and open Team Explorer after installing Update 5

I recently installed Update 5 to my Visual Studio 2013, and now i can not sign in to my Microsoft Account or open Team Explorer view to work with Git.
When I click "Sign In" button in top right corner nothing happens (any bugs or warnings) - the login window does not appear. The same is with Team Explorer view - when I click View -> Team Explorer nothing happens. Befere I installed Update 5 I used it to work with GIT.
Maybe this will be helpful. First time I cancelled Update installation but the second time it was installed successfully.
A few of us had this problem at work and had to uninstall then reinstall Visual Studio, at which point it worked fine. I'm not entirely sure what the issue was or if there's a better way to fix it.

vs C#2015 solution's backwards compatibility wont run on vs2010 even when nothing was done to it

so i was in the middle of making a program, when i decided to try upgrading to vs2015 just because i like the newer UI.
so i opened the .sln in vs2015 test run the program again, and re arrange the ui of my program, but i didnt add or remove anything, or even touched the code.
saved the file, and tried opening it again on my laptop that still on vs2010.
i can open the solution,i can access and edit the code, but i can't open the designer at all, or run the program that i made.
although i can also upgrade the one on my laptop to the newer one, im doing this project with a friend that is also still on vs2010, is there any way to make it compatible again?
Whenever you try to open the project in visual studio 2015 which was basically developed in visual studio 2010 will prompt the window for the make some changes in the .sln file also it shows all changes in the browser.
If you try to open that file which is changed by the VS2015 will not be able to open in VS 2010 but available to open in VS 2012 and on word

Visual Studio 2015 Intellisense not working

I have a fresh install of VS2015 on windows 8 and intellisense doesn't work at all (nothing!) in any environment.
I also have VS2013 (with Resharper 8)on the same machine which works fine.
Any ideas before I go through a re-install?
Probably the problem is with ReSharper, I'm running VS2013 and VS2015 on the same machine without any issues.
I would try:
In Visual Studio 2015, go to 'Tools | Options | Text Editor | C# | General both "Auto list members" and "Parameter information" should be checked.
If that doesn't work I would try to disable ReSharper in VS2013 and try to get the normal intellisense working. Same procedure as above if ReSharper fails to restore the settings.
Note: Only do this as a last resort, because it will reset virtually all of your user preferences, including where your toolbars are, environment fonts etc.
I reached here because my intellisense was giving 1000's of errors in the Error List after installing Visual Studio 2015 on a clean Windows 7 machine.
The answers here did not apply to me, but this answer on StackOverflow: Razor intellisense not working in VS 2015, worked for me.
Run this command from the VS "IDE" folder:
devenv.exe /resetuserdata
When I restarted Visual Studio it took several minutes to "prepare Visual Studio 2015 for the first time", and when I reloaded the project all the intellisense errors had gone.
For info, this is how I navigate to the command prompt:
Right-click the Visual Studio 2015 shortcut on the start menu to get the context menu:
Select 'Open file location' to open a new Explorer window:
Left-click anywhere on the white to deselect devenv.exe, then shift + right-click to bring up the extended context-menu, then select 'Open command window here':
Then paste the command: devenv.exe /resetuserdata
When Visual Studio starts, it's been reset:
And when I load project, errors are gone:
Make sure Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> IntelliSense -> "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked. I had installed and uninstalled VS 2017 and that's when IntelliSense stopped working in VS 2015 for me.
How I fixed it:
I went to Tools -> Extensions and Updates and uninstalled every extension I wasn't using. There were only about 3 of these. One I remember removing was "Microsoft Office Extensions", or something like that. I don't have either resharper or Xamarin, which I've seen mentioned in relation to this. When I'd finished Visual Studio restarted itself, and XAML intellisense was back! Relief...
It may be the case that all you need to do is uninstall any one extension, and the resetting that VS does after that fixes the problem.
Further detail:
I don't recall changing anything specifically (eg. installing anything), when this problem suddenly appeared. I suspect it was due to a Windows update. I was really worried about this one!
I tried restarting VS, and restarting my PC, several times without success, and also checked my intellisense settings. I tried the suggestion of unchecking them and checking again.
My F# code had also lost intellisense. C# was fine, except for XAML.
It was in all VS2015 projects.
Version: Visual Studio 2015, Windows 10. January 2018.
I might be kind of late for the party, but hopefully this helps out anyone.
Please note, the below is just one possible cause for the issue described in this topic.
Your issue might be that you have one project/library referencing the other, but the Target Frameworks are different.
Make sure the frameworks are compatible and see if intellisense picks up your using references, etc.

AWS Toolkit for .NET won't open in Visual Studio

I downloaded the AWS Tookkit for .NET a couple weeks ago and it was working fine.
http://aws.amazon.com/visualstudio/
For the last couple of days, I have not been able to open it in either Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012.
I have already uninstalled it, rebooted, and re-installed (multiple times)
I can choose it from the View menu, but when I select it, nothing happens.
I'm just looking for some direction to see what I can do to resolve this.
I figured it out. I had to uninstall the Toolkit, then go to the profile on the PC and delete the whole AWSToolkit folder, finally I re-installed it. It allowed me to bring it back up and and browse everything.
Specifically, you want to delete the folder found at: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\AWSToolkit
