Visual Studio 2010 - Coded UI Test - Access is denied - visual-studio-2010

I have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on my Windows XP. I'm trying to record a Coded UI Test via Coded UI Test Builder, but I always got "Access is denied" message, or "The control is not available or not valid". I got the same message when I'm trying to record about click on the Start menu or typeing into Notepad.
I have read a lot of topics about this problem but I haven't found good solution.

Reinstalling the computer solved the problem.

Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop Performance and Diagnostics Menu

I've recently updated my copy of visual studio 2013 to update 5 in the hope I could start using the Performance and diagnostics hub but I get the following message in the options menu.
There were no error messages from update 5 installation. When I open the application (even a administrator) I don't have the menu item "performance and diagnostics" and I have already tried to repair the installation.
Before I received the following error message, checking the activity log the error was something about duplicate ID's (Can't share the exact wording as it's not in the log anymore)
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Visual Studio 2017 HRESULT: 0x80070005 / E_ACCESSDENIED on project creation

I'm running Visual Studio 2017, version 15.0.0+26228.9
When I'm trying to create a new project via File > New > Project... in Visual Studio 2017, I'm receiving the following error message and the project is not created:
Access denied (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Don't mind the german message text in the screenshot:
This happens for every project template I use (e.g. C# WPF, VB WPF, C# Console App...).
If I try to create a project via the quick search box on the starting page of visual studio, VS just crashes instantly with no exception message at all:
Has anybody else ran into this issue and might know how to fix it?
I had the same error.
I solved it by following the procedure :
Shutdown all instances of Visual Studio
Delete %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_f4938f75\privateregistry.bin file (the ID after 15.0_ may be different per machines)
Start VS as normal user
all credit for this should go to https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/31188/access-denied-error-1.html
Ok, I fixed it.
Long story short, the reason for the problem was an incomplete and/or corrupted setup.
But it was a rather bumpy road to the solution, including several un-installations and re-installations until I eventually figured out why the setup was indeed faulty.
Sometimes I got an exception during the installation, other times it finished just fine, but the HRESULT-error persisted when I tried to create a new project.
I my special case, this was caused by the corporate firewall, that blocked some of the setup packets from being downloaded by the web installer. I solved the issue by connecting to an open WiFi, that's not filtered by the firewall.
As I'm working with a standard user, UAC kicks in when I start any installation routine. When I first started the setup via UAC and connected to the free WiFi, it wasn't able to find the packet servers.
It took me a minute to realize that the admin user I used for UAC had his own internet proxy settings, that wouldn't work with the open WiFi.
After I logged on as administrator, disabled the proxy and logged on as my main user again, I ran the setup again - and it failed again with a bunch of "incomplete workload" messages. As frustrated as I was at this point, I simply ran it again via the "Change" button without even closing the webinstaller and this time it finally completed without any errors!
After this, I could start VS just normally and creation of a new project was possible.
So, if you experiencing any troubles like this, I would strongly recommend to run a "Repair" or "Change" installation just over your existing one but try to avoid any firewalls between you and the internet.
1/ open control panel -> program and future - > IIS Express -> select Repair
2/ Refresh some time -> open Visual Studio
This 's about IIS Express in your computer . you only need to repair it in control panel is ok .
I tried and success.
My solution,
The Clang-format caused this. just disable clang-format:
Options->Text Editor->C/C++->Formatting->General->Eable ClangFormat Support
I had the same error when I tried to create a test certificate.
I have just launched VS as administrator.
And everything is Ok
The below solution worked for me
Make sure all the instances of Visual studio are closed.
Go to %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_****
Delete the file privateregistry.bin
I tried changing the version of .Net Framework from 4.0 to 3.5 while creating the project. This solved my error.

Visual Studio encountered an unexpected network error and can’t contact the Microsoft account service

I confirgured my windows store DEV account couple of days ago. I have developed some store apps and I need to publish it in windows store. When I try to create the App packages using Visual studio 2012 Ultimate It gives me this error
Visual Studio encountered an unexpected network error and can’t contact the Microsoft account service
I followed the solution mentioned in this link http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wsdevsol/archive/2013/01/15/visual-studio-2012-throws-an-error-saying-visual-studio-encountered-an-unexpected-network-error-and-can-t-contact-the-microsoft-account-service-when-you-try-to-create-app-packages-for-the-windows-store.aspx. But it didn't work out, still getting the same error.
To solve this problem, you need to open the Internet Explorer (not others browsers) and access https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf. A popup will appear. Check the option "In the future, do not show this warning" and click OK. You should be able to complete you task. For more details, check this post

Visual Studio : Language Service Error

I'm trying to compile a project I have in Visual Studio 2010. It has built fine on 2 other computers with Visual Studio, but on this computer, it will not compile, and returns:
"The property could not be read/written because the language service returned an unknown error"
Obviously, I have tried googling, and nothing of any use came up, so some help would be great.
Additional Information:
Project is an XNA 4.0 Project
Trying to deploy the solution to a Windows phone. The phone is plugged in, unlocked, etc. and other projects will deploy successfully to it.
I've run into the exact same error message when I tried editing the AssemblyInfo.cs using VS 2010's Assembly Information dialog from within the project properties (open Properties -> Application from below the given project).
As this thread suggests, I deleted the AssemblyInfo.cs file and filled in the values I wanted in the dialog box which created a new and working AssemblyInfo.cs. Maybe this would help/would have helped in your scenario as well.
Note, that you'll get a fresh and valid GUID if you simply click save after opening the dialog.
I encountered this today in VS 2017. It went away as soon as I performed a build which fetched all my references.

VS2010 express beta2 - no add reference dialog, no open file/project dialogs

Just installed VS2010 express for Windows Phone last night. Install went smoothly. It creates a project, compiles, and deploys the app to the emulator.
Here's the problem: When I try to "Add Reference" through the Project menu, I do not get the Add Reference dialog box. Same thing if I right click References in the solution explorer and click Add Reference. That's not all. "File...Open" and "File...Open Project" also fail to throw up an open file dialog box. When attempting any of these actions, the IDE quickly loses and regains focus. Even pressing a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+O) causes the IDE to quickly lose and regain focus, but no open file dialog box appears.
This is what I have tried, not particularly in this order:
1. Turned off UAC
2. Monitored file and registry access using Process Monitor during a File...Open operation. File activity showed mostly "SUCCESS" with a few "FAST IO DISALLOWED" and a few "INVALID DEVICE REQUEST" results. Registry activity showed mostly "SUCCESS" with some "NAME NOT FOUND" and a few "BUFFER OVERFLOW" results.
3. Created a new, clean Windows account to run the IDE from
4. Forced a test project to add a reference to "System.Xml.Linq" by editing the ".csproj" project file. Project failed to load in the IDE.
I don't have these problems at all on 2 other Windows 7 computers with VS2010 C# express beta 2 installed. One machine is 32bit and the other 64bit, both Home Premium edition.
My system: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit
Other Visual Studio products installed: VS2008 C# express, VS2008 C++ express
One other thing to note: Several months ago I installed the non-phone distribution of VS2010 C# express beta 2, and I had the same exact problems. Back then I chalked it up to being beta and went back to VS2008 C# express, where I do not have these issues.
Matt, if you're still reading this post, I have a solution:
Do you have the Tablet PC Input Service disabled? Enable and start it. This was suggested to me over on the MSDN forums, and it worked for me immediately. I have this service disabled, but I turned it on, fired up VS2010, and it just worked right off. I confirmed this solution by turning the service off again, starting VS2010, and noting that it breaks once again. Turned the service on once more, started VS2010, and it works perfectly. Amazing.
I do not think it's acceptable to require this particular service just for VS2010 to function correctly. Hopefully they fix this in the inevitable service pack. FYI, I had this service disabled because I turn off all services I don't require. So now I have two "wisptis.exe" tasks eating up ~8MB of RAM and starting every time I turn on the PC. Or I can shut the service off again and just resort to my previous workaround. haha
Here is a work around.
Just run wisptis.exe from command line and start the visual studio.
If you don't wanna run each and every time you restarts the computer,then just put wisptis.exe in a .bat file and move it to the startup folder,so that it will be automatically executed on each and every startup.
EDIT 1 :- Or else just press 'WIN'+'R' and type 'wisptis' and press 'Enter'.
I experienced the exact same problem. I'm running VS2010 Express on Windows 7 (x64). Re-enabling the "Tablet Input" service "fixed" the problem.
VS2010 has always worked fine, and then suddenly for no apparent reason "ctrl-O", "Add Reference", "Open Project", and other similar functions stop working.
No amount of repair/uninstall/reinstall would fix the problem.
I always disable the "Tablet Input" service on Win 7, because I use a Wacom tablet, and dislike the visual notification of (tablet) mouse clicks this service causes. VS2010 has so far been working fine in this setup with Tablet input service disabled, but then suddenly the problem arose, and I had to re-enable the "Tablet Input" service to make it go away.
I have another computer with the exact same setup - Win 7 (x64), VS2010 Express, Wacom table, and disabled "Tablet Input" service - and here VS2010 is still working just fine. Both computers also have almost identical software installed and updates installed, so I still have no idea where the difference lies.
Has anyone had more luck in finding the root cause?
I also use Power Toys, but I have not been able to correlate this installation with the problematic behavior of VS2010.
I'm having close to the same issue with the exception that my New | Project dialog works, but Add Reference and Ctrl + O just cause the interface to lose focus and regain focus without every launching the dialog. I have tried running devenv /ResetAddin and devenv /ResetSkipPkgs, but neither helped. I have UAC turned off as well. I don't experience the issue with VS2008.
Here's my setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RTM
Visual Studio 2008 Team System Developer Edition with Team Explorer 2008 and VS2008 SP1
The only addins I run:
GhostDoc
.NET Reflector
Other Related Products I run:
Microsoft Expression Studio 3
SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition with SP1
tonight I uninstalled the VS2010 Express beta 2+phone tools and installed the now final RTM VS2010 Express C#. It STILL had the problem! For kicks, I tried importing a VS2008 project because it has some extra references in the project, and I was curious how they would be handled. The project imported successfully, but compiled with errors that it couldn't find a reference for a SyndicationFeed object, even though the reference for it was successfully added to the References list upon import. I remove the reference (System.ServiceModel.Web), hold my breath, and try to Add Reference one more time. Amazingly, the Add Reference dialog pops up, I add the reference back, recompile and bingo. File...Open and File...Open Project now throw up the proper file open dialogs as well.
To be sure this isn't a fluke only related to importing an old project, I shut down VS2010, start it back up, create a brand new project and try Add Reference. It works still. The File/Project dialogs also show up. I have no idea how, but importing a VS2008 project apparently made VS2010 correct itself on my machine.
Thank you for replying to my post. After hours of Googling over the past few days, your post is the first I've seen of anyone else having this issue besides me.
I found a workaround, but it's annoying having to do this:
1. Create a new project
2. Close VS2010, don't bother saving the new project
3. Start VS2010 again, and everything works as it should. I can access the Add Reference dialog, and I can do a File...Open and Open Project from the menu and toolbar.
If I close VS2010 and start it again, it is broken once more. Performing my workaround fixes it again for that session.
Still looking for a permanent solution.
I finally figured out a work-around. If I temporarily disable the Power Tools, the original Add References dialog opens fine. After adding my references, I can enable the Power Tools again.
