Disable, but not uninstall Resharper 4.x onwards
i have a full licensed version of resharper on my VS2008 but sometime i need to start VS without it, there is a way to do so without uninstalling ?

You can run the Visual Studio in safe mode, using the /SafeMode switch from the command line:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /SafeMode
This will disable all third-party packages and add-ons, and prevent them from loading.
If you find yourself needing to do this frequently, you can even create a new shortcut and add this switch to the target path so that double-clicking that shortcut automatically opens Visual Studio in safe mode.

As a varient you can suspend resharper. Type in command window "ReSharper_Suspend"

Visual Studio "Extensions and Updates" remains disabled

Recently, I disabled all the extensions at "Extensions and Updates" window in Visual Studio 2017. Now I am trying to enable them but it doesn't work. When I enabled the extensions Visual Studio says:
These changes will take effect the next time Microsoft Visual Studio is opened.
But, when I close the VS and reopen it again, they remain disabled. I tried to restart the system after closing the VS, but this also didn't work.
Is there any one knows how to solve this issue?

Since there is no specific error info, to resolve this issue, I would like provide you some troubleshootings:
Make sure you are using latest version of Visual Studio.
I test it with the latest version 15.5.2 without this issue. If you are not in the latest version, please update your Visual Studio to latest version first.
Run Visual Studio in safe mode:
Please open an administrative CMD window and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE and run these commands:               
devenv /safemode
It prevents all third-party VSPackages from loading when Visual Studio starts, thus ensuring stable execution. if it works, this issue should be caused by the extensions and you need to remove the installed extensions under Tools—Extensions and Updates.
Clean the extension cache:
If it doesn’t work in safe mode, please have a try with delete or rename the following folders:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0
Meanwhile, run visual studio as administrator, disable any Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software on your computer and clean %temp% folder.
Hope this helps.

Visual studio 2008 Shell be installed in a terminal which is already having Visual Studio 2010 Shell

Can Visual studio 2008 Shell be installed in a terminal which is already having Visual Studio 2010 Shell.VS 2010 Shell is essential to the Project. So I want VS 2008 in my terminal, without disturbing the existing VS 2010)
Question 1: If so, what do we exactly need to get it installed in my terminal.
Sorry the question might sound stupid, but I am a Java developer and I have no idea of Visual studio. Thanks in advance for your help.
Question 2: Also what does it mean by Visual Studio 2010 Shell Version? What does Shell means
If by "terminal", you mean a PC running Windows, then yes, you can have two different versions of Visual Studio installed simultaneously. I'm assuming you have the requisite licences from Microsoft. Just run the install from the downloaded executable or the installation CD as usual.

Reopen closed tab in Visual Studio 2012

In my web browser (Google Chrome), after a tab is closed, I can re-open it with the menu item 'reopen closed tab'. (Firefox has this feature too, 'undo close tab'.)
How can I do undo closing a tab in Visual Studio 2012?
I found this similar question from 2009, but the accepted answer doesn't work for Visual Studio 2012. Reopen last closed tab in Visual Studio
The Productivity Power Tools extension has the Undo Close functionality. Some of the older extensions designed for VS2010 may not work correctly in VS2012, also quite a lot of functionality from these extensions has been incorporated in VS2012.
In Visual Studio 2012/2013, use CTRL+SHIFT+Z to undo close.
Did you tried with the 2010 version of PowerCommands ?

How to disable Style Cop visual studio extension?

How to disable the Style Cop visual studio extension? It's not listed in Tools / Extensions or in Tools / Add-in manager
I had the same issue: I uninstalled it using Add/Remove programs and got the expected error, when I opened Visual Studio next time. Still after hiding this error message, the StyleCop entries remained in my context menus.
After some research, I found a solution to remove all remains by running devenv.exe /setup on the command prompt. You must run the console elevated and you might have to switch to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE folder (or similar; depending on your system) in order to run the command.
Remember to remove the assotiated Code Cleanup profile if you are using ReSharper.
Source: http://stylecop.codeplex.com/discussions/257772
You can't, StyleCop deliberately hides itself from the uninstall menu in Visual Studio.
You can uninstall it in Add/Remove programs. You might get an error the next time you open Visual Studio but it will be gone after that.
why it happens is : mostly because you uninstalled the style-cop while visual studio was open
how to fix it
remove the registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\InstalledProducts\StyleCop
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\Packages{629EB7CC-69C2-43AC-9BC9-482B0F810C4E}
OR
reinstall & then uninstall (make sure your visual studio is closed during this process)
if you are using resharper
you would need to reset the Code Cleanup Profile to factory defualt to get rid of style-cop completely.
I had the same issue. I have already uninstalled it from Visual Studio by ReSharper Extension Manager and it there was under the right click menu still when I click any projects on Solution Explorer.
This way will solve the problem:
Steps:
Remove the StyleCop by Add/Remove Programs on control panel
If you have already uninstalled the StyleCop, install once again by ReSharper extension manager.(There will be many error at the first opening Visual Studio after the styleCop uninstall process. don't worry about it, press enter all)
Then Remove it by Resharper extension manager again.
I had the VS15 StyleCop plug-in installed and later added the ReSharper extension on top.
I removed the extension from ReSharper, then uninstalled StyleCop via Control Panel Add/Remove Programs and then let CCleaner run with registry clean-up.
The StyleCop entries have disappeared from the menus and the billions of squiggly lines have as well.
The easiest way is to install "StyleCop" extension from Visual Studio Marketplace. Which also can be found from the link :
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ChrisDahlberg.StyleCop
Now right click your project and click on "StyleCop Settings", there you you can disable or customize the rules.

Visual Studio 2005 Intellisense stopped working after ReSharper installation

I installed the ReSharper evaluation version and uninstalled it. Afterwards Visual Studio's Intellisense stopped working. I have restarted computer but I still have this problem.
Can anyone please help me here?
I am using Visual Studio 2005. Thanks.
Try opening Visual Studio Command Prompt and entering:
devenv.exe /ResetSettings
Try going to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# and checking all of the options under Statement completion. I think Resharper disables these upon installation.
Sometimes deleting the ncb file helps. Go to your solution directory and find the sln file, there will also be a file with the same name and the extension ncb. Make sure Visual Studio is closed (at least don't have that project open) and then delete that file. Don't worry Visual Studio will rebuild it for you.
The devenv.exe /ResetSettings was the only thing that worked for me. The full path in command prompt is as follows (for VS 2008)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE>devenv.exe /ResetSettings
took me a while to find so I thought I'd post this to help
devenv /ResetSettings worked after uninstalling ReSharper. I did not have to do a repair. I did verify that the settings were checked under Text Editor > C#, but ResetSettings was the only thing that worked.
You could try to reset your Visual Studio setting by
End Process devenv.exe from Tast Manager if it is running .(It can close your Browser and Visual Studio)
Run devenv /resetuserdata from Start -> Run
Hope It can help you.
Disable updating intelliSense like in this article:
http://amastaneh.blogspot.com/2007/11/disable-updating-intellisense.html
Eventhough for old version seems to work for me.
I would try a "repair" on the installation first. Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, select Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, click "Change/Remove". It will load up the install dialog and give you the option to do a "repair".
YMMV, but at least it should reset a lot of the VS resources to their "fresh" state.
