Enable F# interactive window in VS 2010? - visual-studio-2010

How do I enable the F# interactive window in VS 2010 SP1, installed on Windows XP?
Alt+Ctrl+F doesn't do anything and neither do I see F# Interactive Window in the Other Windows menu.
I can however launch fsi.exe from a separate command prompt.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

If you have not chosen the 'F# profile' for VS, then you might have to create a new F# project before this will appear on the menu, I forget?
(As per comments below, something was screwy in the install, but devenv /setup fixed it.)

How to fix context menu in Solution Explorer in VS 2022

After installing some extensions for SSIS and SSRS, the refresh option is showing up 4 times in the context menu. How do I remove them? This only shows up when right clicking a file.
Looked for appropriate settings in Tools/Customize/Commands/Context menu/. But couldn't find it.
You could try closing all instances of Visual Studio and then from the developer command prompt run
devenv /Setup
That will sometimes fix issues from extensions.
See the docs for devenv.exe (Visual Studio) command line switches at "Devenv command-line switches" and "Devenv command-line switches for VSPackage development".
A different step to try is to run the Visual Studio Installer and run a 'Repair'.

Visual Studio 2022: How to access the built in "Developer PowerShell" instead of the Windows PowerShell?

In Visual Studio 2022, you can open the Developer PowerShell from Tools>Command Line>Developer PowerShell
In the previous versions of Visual Studio, it used to open the built in PowerShell window:
I can still access this if I use my old window layouts. So it still exists.
However, In VS 2022, if I try to open it from Tools>Command Line>Developer PowerShell, it just opens up a separate window:
Is there any way to open the built-in Developer PowerShell in VS 2022 without using old window layouts?
In a newer version of VS 2022, the Developer PowerShell has been moved to View > Terminal it seems. Confusingly, Tools > Command Line >Developer PowerShell opens up the Windows PowerShell.

Edit: It seems there's a new Developer PowerShell now that is accessible from the start menu as a separate executable. This is what opens up if you try to open Developer PowerShell from Tools in VS. The confusion comes from the integrated "terminal" still being named "Developer PowerShell".

Ctrl-Shift-V not working in Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013?

I was using VS 2012 in Windows 7. Yesterday, I installed Windows 8 and installed Visual Studio 2013.
And i can not use Ctrl-Shift-V keys for Cycle Clipboard Ring. I have tried to assume manually Ctrl-Shift-V keys for Cycle Clipboard Ring in Tools\Options\Keyboard menu. Still not working.
[SOLVED]- I have tried it in Design Window. It works fine in Code window.
Open up the Visual Studio Keyboard settings and make sure that the binding is setup correctly. You might have accidentally selected a different template the fist time you launched Visual Studio.
In my C# 2005 bindings, it's available. You might have to reset the mapping scheme and restart Visual Studio.
There might be a add-on, like Resharper that's interfering with the keybindings.
The same story on Win7 and VS2013.
In my case helped only removing ReSharper.ReSharper_PasteMultiple shortcut.
Thanks to the thread:
Visual Studio: ctrl+shift+v opens clipboard ring window I've coped with that.
ReSharper had been turned off nonetheless I had to totally remove the ReSharper's shortcut repeatedly pressing "Remove" (it was switching stacked values).

Stuck with Visual Studio 2010 in Administrator (elevated) Mode

There are many posts that tell you how to run Visual Studio 2010 as Administrator.
I will probably be very ashamed when I find my answer but...
My problem is that I can't start Visual Studio NOT elevated!
I always have the "(Administrator)" text on the title.
I want to be able to debug my application in a non-elevated environment.
I have no shortcut/application file that is marked with "Run As Administrator".
Not Devenv.exe and not VSLauncher.exe not shortcuts at Start Menu.. nothing is marked like this and still Visual Studio runs as Administrator.
My user belongs to the local Administrators group.. but that didn't use to enable this administrator mode.
UAC is disabled but this too didn't matter once.
Also checked
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
and removed Visual Studio from the list. Nothing.
Any idea will be appreciated.
I turned UAC back on and what a surprise... Visual Studio runs in normal mode again!
Thanks again Microsoft, for making things very clear...
You can try downloading VSCommands extension and using its Debug As Normal user feature.

Visual Studio extension to show which command has been just executed?

Is there a Visual Studio 2010 / 11 extension that would somehow monitor all commands that the developer is executing, either via mouse or keyboard, and show them in some window?
For IntelliJ IDEA, there is a plugin that can show keyboard shortcuts for actions executed on manus and toolbars. I am looking for something slightly different but for Visual Studio I couldn't find anything even remotely similar.
Any tips?
