I have installed VS 2012 some days ago.After activation there are some strange lines in the UI
that appear on menu and code editor area.I don't know how to get rid of them.

another example while repairing VS : Picture
VS2010 and 2012 use WPF for their UIs - it's likely this issue is with your graphics card or driver. Please ensure you're running the latest graphics driver versions. If the issue continues then I suggest you try running other WPF applications and seeing if they render things okay.

I recently, upgraded to Windows 10 and got Visual Studio 2015 Community hoping to build UWP apps and ASP.Net 5 apps. At first, I installed everything, but ended up skipping / canceling the Windows 8.1 / 10 mobile emulators (my PC can't even run them). After everything was installed, I went to create a new UWP app (C#), and got this error:
Next, I try the same thing, but with JavaScript. It works perfectly! on the same UAP 10.0.0.0 that is supposedly missing. The link it provides is completely useless (it sends me to http:/microsoft.com/en-us) -_-. Oddly, this only happens when I try to use C# or VB.Net, JavaScript UWP apps seem to work fine. What is going on here? Where can I find the real link to the SDK I need?
UPDATE
JavaScript UWP apps will be create just fine, but when I attempt to build, I get:
Error "10.0.0.0" is not a supported value forTargetPlatformVersion.
Please change it on the Project Property page. Test
C:\Program Files (x86) \MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.\JavaScript\Microsoft.VisualStudio.JavaScript.UAP.targets
This is the download link for the standalone SDK, maybe reinstalling the sdk will fix the problem.

Normally you don't always have to reinstall visual studio when something goes wrong because it takes a lot of time to reinstall again. From your question you skipped/cancel that feature, the first thing to do is go to the control panel and double click on visual studio under programs to Modify the software and enable those features.
In the case, visual studio was working properly before but due to some updates it stopped, go to control panel right click the visual studio version you have under programs to repair.
If the above doesn't work try to reinstall it again. I hope this helps.
I'm trying to install visual studio 2013. I have an iso file and I'm mounting image to drive but the installation doesn't process anything after displaying Visual Studio logo and a black rectangle after that.
Visual Studio logo appears. See Image
Now logo gets disappear and there is a black rectangle box in front of me.
See Image
I can move the box by pressing mouse button and moving it even with 2 inch below the box.
I have Windows7 32 bit with service pack 1 installed in my desktop. Core i3 and Intel HD graphics. I have Titanium Studio, Visual Studio 2010 and other regular softwares installed as well.
The exactly same issue happens when I attempt to install VS2012.
I googled quite a while and found some topics on https://social.msdn.microsoft.com complaining this issue. Basically, the answers ask to check Windows Update and make sure it's up-to-date, especially .NET framework to version 4.5.x. So I do this, and after installing updates and restarting several times, it finally works. Maybe you can try this way too.
I found solution for myself. I was using a software which was protecting my pc's graphic driver and was using another one. I removed that and VS installed as usually.
You should try to install at least once without any driver in your system if you are facing such issue.
In my case it was a missing file machine.config in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG. I copied the file from another PC and installation of VS2013 immediately started, and completed successfully.
Visual Studio 2013 for Desktop is displaying incorrectly. When I open the program, it displays correctly but upon moving my cursor over links or images inside of the interface, they either expand to fill the whole window or the line itself blurs.
I'm running Windows 8.1. I've run it in compatibility mode for XP, Vista, and 7. I've run as administrator. I've reinstalled and repaired. This error is easily reproducible and has occurred over the course of 3 days.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can only guess that your video card vendor happens to maintain a bad driver (or Windows Update pushed a bad version to your machine).

The workaround is to disable hardware graphics acceleration and test again.
I'm currently using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for school. I recently completed a project for the Window Phone 7 platform and am now working on an XNA3D project, however I cannot seem to change my SDK environment from WP7 to XNA.
I've opened previous projects that were started using the XNA framework, but Visual Studios opens using Windows Phone 7, not XNA. I've tried creating a new project and creating it as XNA 4.0 but when Visual Studios loads up my workspace it is still using the Windows Phone 7 header in the drop down menu at the top of the screen. The program still loads the required XNA framework, and will run my program as XNA and will not load the Windows Phone 7 Emulator, so it's not a massive in-my-face kind of problem, but it is an annoyance, and one that neither myself, nor my teacher can solve. I've played around with some of the settings and properties but nothing seems to change it. VS2010 won't even let me click the drop down arrow and select XNA, it's greyed out.
What I'm asking, is has anyone encountered this issue before, and if so, how did you resolve it? Or, do you know how I can fix this and get on with my homework?
Visual Studio identifies the project with unique projectID. And I guess this is the case for you. I highly recommended that you should update the visual studio to 2012 it is good and you can use XNA there too. Here is stackoverflow question explaining details. And it may solve your issue too.
And there is one more way, you can create new XNA project and link your all files to that project. Most of the things works there. Normally I do that while creating [Monogame] (http://monogame.net/) A nice opensource port of XNA.
I hope I understand your question correctly and able to answer that. Please let me know if any specific or more details required.
I've looked for an answer to this everywhere. It's not a problem with the applications I'm writing, it's a problem with the IDE itself. Whenever I try to access the dropdown menus in Visual studio like File, Edit, etc... I can't see them. I'd post a picture but new users can't. The menus will come up with some pixelated garbage that is useless.
I'm running VS2010 on a Dell Vostro 1000 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 4GB RAM. I don't know if this is a hardware issue and I've tried re-installing several times. Same result every time.
I'm having exactly this issue and was wondering if you've managed to solve it.
My graphics drivers and display drivers are all fully up to date.
I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit also.
I've also installed VS2012 and get a similar issue using that IDE.
I've just found this: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/653315/ui-gets-messed-up
and the work around seems to fix my problem!
