I have recently moved to another computer and the name of this computer is long and in all caps. I usually have 2-3 sessions open and it gets confusing since the workspace name is my computer name, it takes up the majority of the tab on the start bar as you can see below.
Is there a way to change what shows in the title bar so I don't have to play a guessing game as to which one is the solution I need to work on?
I checked the settings but there are so many I probably overlooked it. At least, I hope so :D
There are two extension available to change Visual Studio window title: Visual Studio Window Title Changer and Rename Visual Studio Window Title.

This might seem the very definition of a 1st World Problem but it's driving me nuts!
So the right-hand icon is my opened Visual Studio project, and to its left is the icon for Visual Studio 2022. In previous versions of Windows (10) and VS (2019) there was a single Visual Studio icon, which was either plain (no open VS projects) or decorated with a mark at the bottom to show that there was an open project. I'd like to return to that happy place but I can't figure out how. There is no property that I can find on the Taskbar nor in VS itself.
For me, this seems to be a Windows 11 bug. I have the same problem for another program than VS. After unpinning the old icon and pinning the new, the problem is solved for a few days until it occures again. Hope it will be fixed soon.
The answer (so far) seems to be, as #phuzi said, to unpin VS2022. I then closed the project and repinned VS 2022. There is now only one icon - result.
I have a complex form that I created in Visual Studio 2012; I want to print out that form exactly as it shows in the designer using Visual Studio 2012 (not while the program/form is running). Is this possible?
I know I can just do a screen shot, but I will need to be doing this quite often and would prefer a simple, direct way to do this.
I'm not sure if there's anything within visual studios that does exactly what you're suggesting.
I would definitely recommend snagit. We use it at work quite a bit when putting together internal documentation.

You just click and drag and it saves everything in one location. You can also do a quick click on the title bar of the vs window and it will save a screenshot of everything within that window. It's a lot easier than constantly pressing the print button and then pasting it somewhere.
Or you could write your own program that does exactly what you need it to do.
I am having an issue within the razor view in Visual Studio 2012. For some reason, most of the time when I am trying to edit a style property, my keyboard freezes and doesn't allow me to type anything.
<section style="height: 15[Try to edit here]">
For instance, trying to add in a zero or 'px' where the "Try to edit here" has been placed above is impossible as the keyboard freezes.
I have ReSharper 7.1 installed, I'm not sure if that is the culprit?
Closing the tab and re-opening it fixes the issue, but it then re-occurs later on (not sure if there is a pattern as to when it re-occurs)
This happens to me often. I just switch tabs and come back and it doesn't happen(for sometime of course :-)). It could be some kind of unresolvable bug although i would suggest that you uninstall ReSharper and try again to see if it gets fixed.
It happens to me and my other colleagues as well.
I have found it to be linked to having a floating code window(s). Unlike the floating window for something like Find Results (without a title bar), these appear almost like another instance of Visual Studio. These do not come to the front when the main Visual Studio Window is selected. I have found the keyboard stops responding only on these windows if there is a Find Results kind of floating window open. When the problem occurs, clicking on another VS window and come back sorts it.
In earlier versions of VS, any pulled code windows appeared without a thick title bar and window controls box.
I tried posting images of the two kinds of floating windows but don't have enough reputation to do so! Let me know if it is confusing and I'll try to clarify.
This may not be the only way for this problem to occur but this is what I've observed consistently in the last few weeks of using Visual Studio 2012. I have C# environment settings with Resharper 7 and Reflector installed.
In Visual Studio 2008 you could use Sara Ford's did you know #331 (Did you know… You can keep recently-used files from falling off the File Tab Channel? - #331) to make the tabs ordered in MRU (most recently used) order (i.e. the current window is always the left most tab, the previously visited window is second tab, and so forth).
The registry entry listed in the blog post does not appear to work in VS2010 and I have not figured out a way to get tabs listed in MRU. Does anyone know if there is a way in Visual Studio 2010 to keep the most recently-used file from falling off the File Tab Channel?
In the "Productivity Power Tools" extension, the Remove Tabs By Usage Order option seems to be what you are looking for.
Try installing the "Productivity Power Tools" extension - you can disable any other features that you don't use, but the customisation of the tab well is very useful. I don't think it does MRU order, but there are a number of other options that might help.
Another solution, if you are using Windows 7, would be to pin VS2010 to the task bar and then pin them to the programme tasks bar within that through drag and drop for instance.
I've got 2 displays with very different resolution (which makes just stretching a window over them not a good idea) and actively use both of them, usually looking at one when doing changes in another.
So I wonder if I could move a child window of Visual Studio 2010 from within the boundaries of it's main window an move it to another display. Nowadays I'd enjoy the way child windows behaved (each window, incl a toolbar and a properties pane worked as an independent window on a desktop) in Borland C++ Builder (while it was senseless the days when I actually was using it).
In Visual Studio 2010 Document Windows are (finally) detachable. For an how to, you can check this post:
Free your Document windows
Basically there are different ways you can achieve this:
Simply click and drag the tab for the Document window out of the IDE;
Go to Window -> Float on the Menu Bar.
