Can Resharper be turned off for a while? - visual-studio

I'm pairing with someone who is against using resharper (don't ask me why) so I'd like it to hide without uninstalling - is this possible?

For R# 5.0: Tools->Options->ReSharper->Suspend
older versions can be disabled from Add-In Manager menu

Visual Studio 2017 don't remember option "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer"

VS don't remember this option is check, when restart the IDE or change project branch.
I always check this option when I open the IDE.
I am using VS 17 Enterprise latest version.
EDIT: I am also using resharper(maybe it override VS options).
If I change resharper performance options, than it doesn't work. Following option affect VS option:
If you select fix silently then it is overriding the VS settings.
There are a lot of known issues with "Track Active Item":
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/search.html?f=&type=question+OR+problem+OR+idea&type=question+OR+problem+OR+idea&c=&redirect=search%2Fsearch&sort=relevance&q=Track+Active+Item
A summary of most of the issues is already provided by #Davemundo
Try the following (ensure you are on the LATEST VS2017):
As per comments: "I've found that it works reliably when Solution Explorer is in Solution mode. But when working in Folder mode, the behaviour is temperamental."
Toggle lightweight loading on/off (https://dotnetvibes.com/2017/02/13/lightweight-solution-load-in-visual-studio-2017/)
Disable the extensions in VS one-at-a-time to determine which one, if any, cause this
Completely uninstall Productivity Power Toys (PPT) (disable wont work)
Remove the .vs folder (as per other suggestions)
This has to be reproducible, others have had similar problems with different versions, please let us know which version number you are using right now, thanks!

Does Roslyn conflict with ReSharper?

This may be to ambiguous a question but I'm still going to ask. I have had Roslyn Preview turned on in VS2013 for awhile now but recently I purchased ReSharper 9. While they were both "active" VS did not seem to work very well and I wasn't able to access certain ReSharper features even though I had set the keyboard settings correctly.
So, I know that ReSharper doesn't and won't use Roslyn but is it compatible running together?
At the moment, ReSharper 9 provides initial support for Roslyn, since neither Roslyn nor Visual Studio, which uses it, have been released. Rest assured that when VS2015 does release, ReSharper will support it in its entirety. But since the final feature set has not yet been determined, it is unreasonable to expect the current version of ReSharper to support every C# feature that Roslyn has. Give it time :)
Yes, R# is meant to be compatible with Roslyn. Since Roslyn isn't out yet and still changing, there could be some bugs but that's understandable and would be fixed with a future update for R# 9.
In any case, I have been working with both (on VS2015) without any issues.

Collapse to Definitions doesn't work in VS2013 and ReSharper 8.2

I'm running VS2013 Pro Update 2, and R# 8.2, and I'm unable to collapse my code to definitions. This is true on my work machine and home workstation. When I click Collapse to Definitions, the using statements collapse, but that's all. It doesn't matter where my cursor is in the code. At work, my OS is Windows 7; at home it's Windows 8.1.
I had no problems with VS 2012 Pro and R# 8. This is exclusive to VS2013.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and solved it? Google isn't showing anything promising...
tl;dr- Update VS2013 to Update 3, and then disable and re-enable R#.
--
At home I was running VS2013u3, the latest. Disabling and then re-enabling R# via Tools > Options fixed the collapsing issue.
At work, I was running VS2013u2. I tried the same process as above (disabling and then re-enabling) R#, which did NOT work, so I checked VS version numbers to make sure my work setup was the same as my home setup. It was then that I discovered that I was a rev behind. After installing Update 3, collapsing to definitions now works as it should, and there was no need to do the disable/enable dance.
I also found out that if you have C# outline 2013 installed and enabled, It does not work.
I disabled this extension and it worked!
I have VS2013u4 and have been having this problem for awhile now. I learned there is an 'Automatic Outlining' option that is overriding the Ctrl+M, O shortcut. To fix right-click in the text editor > Outlining > Stop Outlining. The shortcut should work after that.

CodeRush Xpress with JustCode on VS 2010

Does CodeRush Xpress play nicely with JustCode on VS 2010?
Will the default key bindings clash?
Background: I am inexperienced with C# and would like the IDE to help me as much as possible. Thanks.
We (DevExpress) were not told about incompatibilities with JustCode. So, most likely they will work fine. If you see any issues we will be happy to research and resolve them - just drop a line at support#devexpress.com.
I am with Telerik, and I've experienced no problems testing JustCode with CodeRush Xpress. It may be possible that installing additional Visual Studio extensions will overwrite the key mappings for JustCode. If you suspect this has occurred, go to JustCode | Options | General and click "Reset keyboard shortcuts".

Hotkeys no longer work in Visual C# 2010 Express

Suddenly none of hotkeys in C# Express work (like F5, F6 etc.). I don't know what I've done, but no doubt its something stupid. Does anyone know how to fixed this?
I have tried the Keyboard settings in Options, but it won;t even let me add hotkeys for some reason, even once I've removed the old ones. So re-adding them does not work.
Reset your Visual Studio Settings.
If that doesn't help
repair your Visual Studio.
Try restarting your computer.
Have you made any changes recently (Installed a new Add-in or some other software on your PC).
Do the hot keys work in other applications? If no then it has nothing to do with VS.
Did you try a different keyboard?
You can try some of the Visual Studio standard trouble shooting steps described here. These are for the non-Express-editions, but I guess they will also work for the Express versions. Have a look especially at resetting all settings and check for add-ons.
