In Visual Studio 2008, the Exceptions window has two columns with check boxes:
In contrast to this, in Visual Studio 2010 the column seems to be missing:
My questions are:
Is this a configuration issue on my machine or "by design"?
Do I have a chance to re-enable the column or to mimic the "user-unhandled" behaviour in a different way?
Update:
The following extensions are installed in my Visual Studio 2010 installation:
PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2010
Productivity Power Tools
Visual Studio Color Theme Editor
VisualSVN
ReSharper
My installation of Visual Studio 2010 does have the "User-unhandled" column:
Edit
From VS2008 Debugger does not break on unhandled exception...
As it turns out, if you do not have "Enable Just My Code (Managed Only)" checked in the Debug options, the "User-Unhandled" column does not show in the "Exceptions" dialog.

I have Visual Studio 2015 installed and when an exception occurs vsjitdebugger.exe runs and pops up a dialog offering to choose between Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2015 as debugging engines. VS2010 isn't actually installed. How do I remove it from the list of debugging engines in that dialog?
I installed Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012 and I guess one feature is either missing or turned off. I mean the tooltip that appears when howering on the classname and method name.
Here are the screens of what I mean. This is from VS 2010.
How can I turn on the same feature in the Visual Studio 2012 or is it just removed from this version of IDE?
The Solution Navigator has been incorporated into Visual Studio 2012 and is no longer part of the Productivity Power Tools extension. There also doesn't seem to be any way to enable interactive tooltips.
I don't know whether it is missing in Visual Studio 2012 but I wonder why I cannot see the advanced tooltip feature in 2012.
In VS2010, once you hover your mouse over a code, it displays the following:
But it is how it looks right now in Visual Studio 2012:
And it looks rather primitive compared to Visual Studio 2010.
That's from a Visual Studio Plug-in. I think it's either PowerTools or VSCommands. You should install the same plug-in in VS2012, and you should get that behavior back.
(Just confirmed that it's Productivity Power Tools that provides that feature.)
Does anyone know what extension causes this whenever you remove a project from a solution in Visual Studio 2010?
Microsoft Visual Studio
Visual Studio has encountered an unexpected error.
OK
I've been having this problem for a while.
I have installed four extensions from the Online Gallery:
I Hate #Regions v1.2.6
Productivity Power Tools v10.0.20626.18
Visual Studio Background Customizer v1.0
Visual Studio Color Theme Editor v1.3
For me, the offending extension is Productivity Power Tools.
I have just confirmed this by turning off all of my extensions, then enabling one (and only one) at a time, removing a project from a solution, and then attempting to save the solution.
With Productivity Power Tools as the only enabled extension, I received the "Visual Studio has encountered an unexpected error" message.
Hope this helps.
In Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 you used to be able to mouse over the toolbar and a tooltip would pop up showing the associated shortcut key if you turned on the feature. This feature seems to be missing in VS 2010.
Method to configure this feature in 2005 and 2008: Display keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio context menus
Suzanne Hanson from Microsoft indicated in a post that for 2010, this feature would not be configurable and would be turned on by default. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/489554/toolbar-icons-tool-tips-missing-shortcut-hint.
Does anyone have this feature turned on? Could it just be that my Visual Studio Version is out-dated? (Help -> About reports Visual Studio 2010 v. 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel)
The tooltips are there by default (at least in my version Visual Studio 2010 v. 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel). If you don't see them, try repairing/reinstalling. That fixed it for me.
