Running Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 on Win7 x64. I just installed the latest Azure SDK and upgraded a web role. When I enter the debugger from Visual Studio, I need to click through two UAC prompts before the site appears. I believe these are for the compute and storage emulators. How do I prevent this from happening? I already run Visual Studio as an administrator.
On my development machines I tend to disable UAC completely:
Control Panel
User Accounts
User Accounts (again)
Change User Account Control settings
Drag the slider to the bottom: Never notify

I'm running into issues trying to register Visual Studio 2017 and 2015 with my Visual Studio Online Subscription (a.k.a. MSDN). I'm using a VMWare VDI using their Horizon Client if that matters. The OS is Windows 10, and the Visual Studio SKU is Professional. My client requires me to run under two separate identities, one with limited privileges for non-development work, and an administrator account for development work (annoying, but not unreasonable given my client is a very large corporation). So, I run Visual Studio under that admin account using Run as administrator.
My problem: On the virtual machine Visual Studio hangs when I click the Sign-In button, or the Check for an updated license on the product registration sign-in page. Note: This problem only occurs from the virtual machine using my administrator account. It works fine on the virtual machine under my normal non-admin account. Nor do I have issues on the physical machine I'm using to run the VM. That said, my client requires me to use the virtual machine.
I'm just wondering if anyone else as seen this same issue. There is something about running under my admin account on VMWare that is hanging Visual Studio registration as soon as I click sign-in. Likely a firewall or proxy setting, not sure. I'm working closely with my client's IT Operations, but they are as perplexed as I.
Every time I start VS 2017 (Enterprise) on Windows 10, it opens the Settings > Update & security > For developers screen. Why does it do this, and how can I prevent it?
Installed workloads:
.NET desktop
UWP
.NET mobile (Xamarin)
I don't recall changing anything else during installation.
I had the exact same problem when opening a Xamarin project.
(Maybe it's related to the configuration request of the Xamarin Mac Agent)
I've found that enabling the developer mode on the settings stop the
panel to popup everytime.
It shows up because of the UWP workload (along with a notification in Visual Studio that you need a developer license to develop UWP apps):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/enable-your-device-for-development
However, if you are writing software with Visual Studio on a computer for first time, you will need to enable Developer Mode on both the development PC, and on any devices you'll use to test your code. Opening a UWP project when Developer Mode is not enabled will either open the For developers settings page, or cause this dialog to appear in Visual Studio:
Developer mode lets you sideload apps, and also run apps from Visual Studio in debug mode.
Either switching to developer mode or modifying your Visual Studio installation to not include UWP will stop it from happening.
While creating a SharePoint (SharePoint online hosted) app in Visual Studio 2015, I used my organization-issued personal account. While signing-in I accidentally checked the Remember me box.
And now, for another project, I have to log-in again using different credentials, which has administrator privileges. But, the sign-in page never shows up now.
I tried clearing internet explorer cache, repairing Visual Studio, reinstalling/updating SharePoint plugin etc., but nothing worked. It automatically logs me in using my personal account.
I tried finding keys in Windows Credential Store in Control Panel, but was unable.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
We had a very similar problem as such you were not able to connect to Team Foundation Server with your own credentials.
To solve this problem
Open the Credential Manager in Control Panel
Edit the Generic Credentials to be your own account
Close and open Visual Studio 2015
Reconnect to TFS
Enter your credentials in prompt poping up
Note: Do not forgot to uncheck the option "Remember my credentials" to force to ask credentials for every TFS connections.
Now, you will be able to connect to Visual Studio 2015 with your account from now on.
I am running the Visual Studio Emulator for Android, but it's getting stuck creating a new device profile:
Are there any log files I can use to diagnose the problem, or does anyone from Microsoft have an idea what maybe wrong?
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro, and it's the RTM version of the emulator installed with VS 2015.
This is because you are not yet a member of the "Hyper-V Administrators" user group. If you didn't restart your computer after installation, you should restart and try again.
If you've restarted and are still seeing this, go to Control Panel, then Local Users and Groups, and add your username to the "Hyper-V Administrators" group.
I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium installed, and I want to install the Silverlight 4 SDK.
The SDK says that it requires the Visual Web Developer feature for Visual Studio 2010. Any idea as to how to install, or activate this feature?
Run the Visual Studio installer and double check the installed components. Make sure Web Developer is enabled (Web Developer should be part of the standard installation for VS 2010 Premium) and then hit OK.
Once the installation has completed try installing the Silverlight SDK again.
Rerun visual studio setup
Select modify
Choose option "Microsoft web Developer Tools"
With Windows Azure, this is not as straightforward, because there is no separate VS installer. After launching VS2010SP1AzurePack.2E2.2E1.exe, you will eventually get this message. Once you do, click OK. Then on the next screen, where it has all the software products listed and the "I Accept" button is grayed out, scroll down to the "Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (Dependency)" line, and click on the "Direct Download" link underneath it. Run the "vwd_web.exe" file that it downloaded, and it will install Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. Once that completes, click on the "I Decline" button back on the list of products. That returns you to the first screen. Now click the "Install" button - the message will not appear, and the "I Accept" button on the next screen will now be enabled.
In my case, I had already chosen the Web Dev feature, and performed the following
New Project
Cloud Project
Get Azure SDK
Click the Download Azure button
WebPI kicked off
Closed VS
Clicked Accept
Azure SDK (2.9.1) installed.
