When I start VS-2013 for the first time and an older Version of VS is installed I get the question if I want to take over old settings.
Now I have a machine were I installed VS-2013 and I pressed no on the question if old Settings should be imported. This was a mistake. What ss the way to force VS-2013 to requery me for the older Settings of the installed VS-2010?
TIA
Visual Studio has an Import/Export settings option on the Tools menu. Try exporting settings from 2010. Then, import into 2013.

I am currently working on a new unity project and to be honest i am new at this.
I need to use the InputSystem package but Visual studio does not recognize it.
This is the version of my VS. Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.9.3 and the version of Unity is 2020.2.1
As you can see by the picture, my VS already knows that I am working in a Unity project.
So the first thing that I tried doing is to regenerate project files but it didnt work. I also selected my VS as my default external script editor.
This is my external tools.
I re-installed VS using unity hub but nothing happend.
Do you have any suggestions? I followed some tutorials I saw over the internet but I am still getting no positive results and to be honest, I am getting out of ideas.
Just tested out the package installation. I installed the package in a fresh, empty Unity project. Here are the steps that I went through which worked in my case:
Locate the Input System package in the Package Manager
Click install
A warning prompt will appear, click yes
Unity Editor should now get re-launched on it's own, wait for that to happen
If Visual Studio is open, close it
Open Visual studio - right click on the Assets folder and select Open C# project
UnityEngine.InputSystem namespace should now be available, if not, re-open Visual Studio one more time
Let me know if it works for you.
For me works when I install .NET and .NET Core and reboot the computer. (made this on Windows)

We are running into a problem opening our MVC5 solution in Visual Studio 2017. It will show a message saying loading projects, followed by "Preparing solution" and then it just freezes. Some preliminary research has lead to suggestions like
Remove the hidden .vs folder
Repair installation by running as admin
Updating to the latest released VS build
Remove any node.js type folders that have deeply nested folder structure within the solution folder
However, none of these have worked. Has anyone else run into a similar problem using VS 2017 with their solution? There are no special commands on packages loaded on startup.
I was able to finally get it to work. I updated to the latest Visual Studio build 15.0.0+26228.10, but that did not seem to help. After removing my .vs folder before opening the solution multiple times, it finally started to load. I have no 3rd party extensions or tools running.
I installed visual studio enterprise 2017 version 15.0.0+26228.10. and productivity power tool extension. the studio keep crashing when load project. I uninstall everything and reinstall vs only, the crash problem disappeared.
Deleted the vs folder, but it didn't work.
Looked for recently changed files in the project, saw Web.csproj.user — when I removed this the project works again.
Visual studio 2017 keeps crashing when i try to launch it,all i did was to launch visual studio installer go to more which is under the product am using then clicked on repair and that got me running again.
We saw some lockups, especially during the start of Batch Builds, until we set this experimental feature to False:
Tools > Options : Text Editor > C/C++ > Experimental : Enable Faster Project Load.
I don't know whether it could apply to your problem or not, but it is related to loading projects, so...
Good luck.
I had the same issue and uninstalled the ankhsvn subversion plugin then closed and re opened vs 2017 ad it worked.
I have Visual Studio Ultimate/Enterprise installed from a previous engagement. I've now started at a new place who only have licenses form VS Professional. So I need to downgrade but the supported route involves full uninstall and full reinstall which is obviously rather time consuming.
Are there any "clever" (probably unsupported) ways to do the downgrade?
It is not possible to downgrade an installation, as they are different products and can exist side by side. The components downloaded and installed for each product are different.
If you had previously installed VS Pro, as I had, you might be able to go to "Add/Remove Programs" and select "Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise with Updates." Modify->Uninstall worked perfectly for me. Be sure to backup any settings, as some of mine got reset. My extensions stayed the same, though. To be clear, I had VS Pro first, and I installed Enterprise Evaluation side-by-side with it.
I'm in a similar situation, unfortunately there's no supported option besides the uninstall/reinstall route you've already mentioned. You could probably save some time by backing up all your extensions and settings etc. The processes outlined below might be different for more recent versions but I think the process would be similar
Backup and restore settings
Backup and restore extensions
Edit:
This is pretty weird, I'm starting to think that perhaps Drunken Code Monkey's solution is more accurate than I initially thought. I was expecting to have to follow the same process as Schneider described (uninstall / full reinstall), but as soon as the uninstall of VS Enterprise finished, I was able to open VS Pro as normal.
Edit 2:
Turns out it was not as normal, a bunch of things didn't work (creating ASP.NET MVC projects) and I had to do a repair. Not quite as bad as a full reinstall, fortunately.
Just had to do this. You must first uninstall the enterprise edition. Visual Stuido Installer will complete the uninstall and when it's finished will prompt if you'd like to install a different version, such as Community.
Down Grade visual studio from enterprise to Professional
we can download separate professional version of Visual studio EXE.
Professional and enterprise run side by side in our machine but need separate 2 license for those 2.
if you want to downgrade you visual studio from Enterprise to professional just need to install EXe using below link

I installed Microsoft Visual Studio and during installation i think i somehow ticked the Team Project checkbox. Now i'm unable to create a normal ASP.NET website in any way. I would be very grateful if someone tells how to fix this thing. Also i have uninstalled and installed seven times. But no luck. Thank you.
If I have understood You right. You try to change default templates in IDE for Web developers.
In Visual studio you can easily change the profile of the IDE by going to Tools -> Import Export Settings. This brings up Import Export Windows Wizard. Follow the simple Wizard (which also allows to save you the current settings for future use) and select the new profile setting (based on the kind of project you are working on) and you are ready to work with new profile.
I assume You need to choose "Web development".
I've searched high and low for the answer to this and can find nothing on it. I have installed VS 2010 pro edition on a virtual machine running MS XP Pro. After connecting to my database, I can see all the tables, stored procedures, and functions just fine in the list. However, when I rick-click on any of them, the options to create new/edit/run any of them are missing.
This is not the first time I've set up VS 2010. I got a new laptop so reinstalled everything. I changed no settings the first time I've set this up, and none this time. I set up the connection to the databases the same way each time, and even looked at my old connection settings while I set up this installation. The old installation had all of the right-click options, but this one does not. I have tried going to Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings and tried General Development Settings, Visual C# Development Settings, and Web Development as the default collection of settings. None of these worked.
I've looked through the settings and found nothing for the right-click menu. It almost seems as if the database connection is open in a "read only" mode, but there doesn't seem to be a setting for that, so I don't think that is the case. If anyone knows of any way to get these options to show up, I would greatly appreciate the input. Thanks in advance.
After I installed Visual Studio 2010 (Ultimate), I accidentally uninstalled the SQL Server Data Tools which were installed together with VS, and after reinstalling them (by repairing the VS installation) the missing context menue options were back again.
Desperate to resolve this, I played around with the connection more. I had originally chosen Microsoft SQL Server as the data source, and .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB as the Data Provider. Evidently, the data provider was wrong. After choosing .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server, it worked and I could see all of my right-click menu options.
I have VS 2013 Ultimate installation. Along this version I installed SSTD BI. Everything was working perfect until I got the same issue. Right-click on tables or other folders displays only three options: copy, refresh, property. The tricky thing is that it's impossible to uninstall SSTD BI in Control Panel or install SSTD BI on top of previous installation. What helped me is repair installation of VS2013. Start your installation file and chose repair instead of installation. Couple hours and it's back to work.
I downloaded SSTD from here and it fixed my missing context menus
