I'm working on VS2010 and Windows 8.
whenever I run the application windows starts flickering which is quite weird.
I tried following things but didn't get any help out of it.
Open Tools/Options dialog
In the options tree select the Environment/General page.
Uncheck "Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance" then uncheck "Enable rich client visual experience" checkboxes.
Close the Tools/Options dialog
and I also tried making some changes in regedit.
Any other suggestions?
Set DoubleBuffered to True and see if it helps.
Also, try different settings in the BackgroundImageLayout, if you have an image for the background.

Is there a way to disable the Web Publish Activity window in Visual Studio 2013?
I couldn't find any options to disable that feature.
I have no directly solution for it. But I found workaroud: I tab it to the right sidebar and set autohide for it. So, now this window take minimum screen place and isn't shown during every publish:
If you click the little x in the Web Publish Activity window, it will go away!
I had the same problem on Visual Studio 2017.
Mine was over everything every time and completely unreactive. Not even its close button worked.
The way I get rid of it was: menu Window > Reset Window Layout
I have created an asp.net project in visual studio 2010 ultimate edition.
I can't see Standard, Data etc toolbox tabs, I can only see Telerik and HTML controls.
I tried to reset the toolbox, tried to delete C:\Users\mypcuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\*.tbd.
I also tried devenv /ResetSkipPkgs but nothing worked for me.
Please suggest a Solution thanks!
This may help you.
In the Toolbox, select the tab where you want to add the control.
Right-click the Toolbox and select Choose Items from the shortcut menu.
The Choose Toolbox Items dialog box opens. The following illustration shows the Choose Toolbox Items dialog box.
Try to right click on the Toolbox and select "Reset Toolbox"
The common controls should appear in the Dialog Editor list along with all the MFC ones that I seem to be limited to when the problem happens.
I have this happen frequently. I don't know what causes it, but this fix always works and is fine for me since I didn't customize anything.
This will help you...
In Visual studio, go to view-toolbar-check standard and layout..
Then restart the visual studio and be sure on design page and check for toolbox..
Now the standard toolbox items will appear.. Thanks.
Just for the Future Viewer of this page

Mostly this is happen on a first run.
It solved the problem with Ctrl + Alt + X in your keyboard.
I'm running Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone. My problem is I'm not getting the solution configurations drop down list.I tried a lot but I'm not getting it.
Click the Tools menu, click Settings, and then click Expert Settings.

When debugging a project in Visual Studio 2005, I have recently noticed a brief appearance of the "Object Test Bench" window. This window appears and then disappears after less than a second and does not look like the normal "Object Test Bench" window one sees when not debugging, as it looks like this:

I would like to stop this window appearing and have tried the following:
Closing all Object Bench Test windows when not debugging
Resetting Visual Studio to default settings (devenv /ResetSettings)
Any other ideas?
Migrated? Hmm no code in this question. Anyway is the Object Test Bench perhaps open, but docked, so it pops up when the IDE state changes?
More info on the OTB on MSDN here :)
Edit: Here is what my VS 2005 OTB looks like.

I also have the same problem. I once had JetBrain's Resharper 4.5 installed. I uninstalled it after my trial expired, and I think that's when I noticed the Object Test Bench popping up when I debug.
Did either/both of you have Resharper or any other Visual Studio add-on installed/uninstalled before this problem?

I had what may be a similar problem: not just the Oject Test Bench, but also Breakpoint, Call Stack, and other windows popped up all over whenever I ran in Debug mode. It started during a project with a single page containing several (probably incompatible) jQuery scripts.
What worked for me was to click on Window -> "Auto Hide All", then again on Window -> "Reset Window Layout". That seemed to resolve it.
Go to on Window -> "Auto Hide All", after go on Window -> "Reset Window Layout". That will resolve the problem it.
I've finally joined the 21st century and got a second monitor. I can merrily undock all the side windows (Solution Explorer, ToolBox etc) and plonk them anywhere I like on either monitor. I can't though figure out how to undock a code window. Is it possible? (I'm using vs2008).
Multi monitor is a key functionality of the new vs 2010 as was requested by a lot of devs.
Actually there is a way to do that.
You just need to install a FREE addon from Exact Magic named StudioTools
It has this feature called "Tear Off Editor Window".
You just activate the tab you want to tear off and from the StudioTools manu select Tear Off Editor.
I also strongly recommend you check out the rest of the features, especially the "Smart Goto" which rocks!
Just for you (VS2010) ;-p
You could resize Visual Studio to cover both monitors, then right-click the code window and click New Vertical Tab Group
The "Tear Off Editor Window" feature in Studio Tools from Exact Magic is I think the only option if can't just extend the application over your monitors, if you have multiple monitors of different sizes or a mix of portrait and landscape orientation.
However you cannot download Studio Tools from the original site as they were bought by another company who no longer support the software. You can download it from the the Wayback Machine: Studio Tools Download Link
