I've noticed an immense delay (just sitting there doing nothing) since upgrading to the latest version of windows while using tortoiseSVN to compare any file to its base version [TortoiseMerge].
I was on the fast track and got the fall creators update about a month ago and noticed this too so i reverted back and it went away. After it hit RTM I thought this was fixed but apparently I was wrong.
What do I mean with very slow?
Before fall creators update: <1 second
After: A minute or 2, as long as it takes..and that's just for comparing 1 file.
I just go read an article or something and wait for the tortoiseMerge icon to popup in the taskbar.
Repo is on my Desktop - Client is on my Laptop - same network.
Anyone with a similar experience? Did anyone find a workaround?
Edit:
The issue has more to do with TortoiseMerge than TortoiseSVN or SVN itself - I switched to Beyond Compare and it is working well for now.
The issue is already reported to Microsoft and Microsoft fixed in in Visual Studio 2017 15.6 when you recompile your code. Here the fixed MFC without the slow Get/SetPixel is used.
To fix in in Windows 10 for current and older compiled tools which use MFC, Microsoft released the Update KB4058258. The release notes don't mention the fix, but it is confirmed by the reporter that the fix is part of the cumulative update.
So installing the Update should fix it. So if you have the issue, make sure you run at least Build 16299.214 (run winver.exe to see the number).
If you have this or a higher number at last position, the issue should be gone.
The old and outdated information are archived. See the revisions of this answer for the old workarounds.
Instead of removing the "ribbon" setting, or changing security in Windows, I installed the last nightly build (1.9.9.x), and the performance is back.
I looked at the settings, and the ribbon is still checked as default. But the performance is there.

As a workaround, you can use the TortoiseUDiff tool instead. It is still fast. Here is what I do:
Right-click a working folder in Windows Explorer and click 'SVN Commit'
Select one or more files in the 'Commit > Changes made' list
Right-click the selection and select "Show changes as unified diff"
It's not as powerful as TortoiseMerge, but if you just need to see the changes you are committing, the above method still works fast.
After installing 2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4058258) the speed problems for WinMerge appear to be completely fixed.
In the TortoiseSVN settings window, I
selected Diff Viewer/Merge Tool section
checked External
selected WinMerge.
Works like a charm.
It did a trick for me. I allowed TortoiseSVN program in my antivirus firewall protection settings. It made SVN Commit fastest.
Go to your antivirus. I have Quick heal. So I will tell you the steps accordingly.
1) click on "Internet & Network"
2) Click on "Firewall protection"
3) Check for "Program rules" and click on "Configure" button.
It will open a window displaying the list of allowed Exe on your system.
Your antivirus blocks tortoiseSVN and related exes, if they are not in
allowed Exe list.
4) So now click on "add" button, open dialog box will popup.
5) Go to "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin" directory
6) Select TSVNCache.exe, TortoisePlink.exe, TortoiseProc.exe, ConnectVPN.exe And
click "open" then click OK in list window.
Here you go. Hope it helps you.

I am working on an ASP.NET application in VS2010; the repository is still VSS-2005. I am going to abandon the changes made to one of the pages and revert back to the version that existed two checkins ago (which is the current production code). My problem is that I haven't worked with VSS much and I've never done this particular thing before. I can't find any "How to" literature on VSS that tells how to do it, and when I try to do it using the intuitive thing (do a "Get" on the version I want to revert to), it does nothing.
I can View that older version using Notepad, and so I could check out the page and replace the code with the Viewed Notepad version, but this doesn't seem proper somehow.
I've been wondering about the Rollback button, but when I click it, it gives me an ominous message that I am not sure I like: "Rollback cannot be undone; some versions will be lost irretrievably! Continue anyway?"
Well, apparently there are no SourceSafe gurus out there, so I'll answer my own question. I bought a book! And it told me how to do it.
Overview:
Check out the current version manually
"Get" the version we want to revert to
Check in the older version as a newer version
Details:
Check out the current version, then use the View History command to show the History dialog and select the version that is desired to be reverted to.
After selecting/highlighting this version, click on the Get button. The Get dialog shows where the specific file version will be placed along with several options. By default the path in the To text box points to the file in our workspace, which is what we want. Don't select the "Make writable" option since the file in question is already under source control. Leave everything as defaulted, and click OK. In the next dialog, choose "Replace". SourceSafe gets the older verison and overwrites the one in the workspace.
Now that you have the older base version, all you have to do is check in the version and obtain a new version that is identical to the old one.
I got this information from the book "Visual Source Safe 2005 - Software Configuration Management in Practice" by Alexandru Serban, published by Packt Publishing Ltd. I bought the book used, but found you can still get it new from the publisher for a lot less than the list price -- $20 less! I don't know who might need a book about an obsolete source control system, but don't pay full price, get it from the publisher direct! Amazon charges the full list price on new copies (astonishing).
I have installed gvim in windows 7. When I right click on a file, I get list of editor to be opened with. I see a icon for notepad++, 7zip and beyond compare, but not for vim. it is tough to search "Edit with Vim" in the big list. Is it possible to add icon to "Edit with Vim". I tried setting ICON in registry to gvim.exe path, but that didn't work
I am currently having a crack at coding this up "for real" (but no success yet).
In the meantime, here's what I did on my machine as a sort of workaround:
Create a new text file and call it (for example) vim.reg
and paste this into the file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Vim]
"Icon"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Vim\\vim74\\gvim.exe\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Vim\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Vim\\vim74\\gvim.exe\" \"%1\""
and then right-click on the file and select Merge.
Or just manually add those keys directly in RegEdit if you're comfortable with that.
You may need to restart Explorer.exe (eg. log out and back in) for it to take effect.
This will add a new "Edit with vim" entry, with the icon, to the context menu for every filetype.
If you want it only for text files, for example, then change the two occurrences of "*" in the file to "txtfile".
The other vim context menu entries (eg. open with existing vim session) will not be affected - they will still not have icons.
UPDATE:
From the bug report that Christian mentioned, it looks like someone else has now implemented this, in version 7.4.724.
Vim.org reports that the currently release is 7.4.729, so it should include that.
The only trouble is that the Windows binaries available for download from the site are from 2013.
But vim.org also suggests a way to get the latest version, precompiled for Windows:
For the latest version with all patches included see Cream below.
These versions are unofficial, but the download number is high and
complaints are few.
And
For an unofficial version that does include all the latest patches and
optionally a bit more: Cream.
The "one-click installer" mentioned includes the Cream changes.
For the "real Vim" use the "without Cream" version listed further down.
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. There is a whishlist bug that requests this feature, but no one has contributed code yet.
i just installed visual studio 2010 and it is not opening any projects .I can make projects but i can not add any file in it and also it is not opening recent projects.
I am stuck here , kindly cooperate with me!
OK, sounds like the installaion got munged up.
first obvious questions: do you have any code that has actually been saved?
If "yes," copy that code to an alternate location, and use the simplest solution: use the Windows Control Panel to deinstall the MSVC instance and reinstall. If no code saved, just de-install and reinstall.
That's the obvious answer. You may also check the location for the project files, and the settings Visual Studios uses.
from the toolbar, click "tools".
From the drop-down list select "options"
Within the displayed list, scroll down to "projects and solutions"
expand that list (click on the little "+" box)
3 locations will be displayed.
Make sure you have write permission to all three locations
all the check boxes should be selected. Especially the one marked "save new projects when created"
click "OK" to accept the changes
Today I tried to made "Code Cleanup" of single file in ReSharper 6.0 (VS 2010). The Code Cleanup dialog did not show up so I tried again.
I then discovered, that the feature is grayed out and when I press hotkey for Code Cleanup, the notification area shows that the "command is not available at the moment".
Even the Code Cleanup settings are hidden. The panel where settings should be shown says that the settings are solution-specific and thus a solution needs to be opened (although it is, however).
All other solution-specific settings and features work, except for Code Cleanup.
I want to avoid re-installing ReSharper or resetting its settings, because otherwise I would need to set it up again (long and annoying work of setting all the options as before re-install).
I am afraid that backing up settings and restoring it again restores the problem as well.
Any suggestions?
Suggestions:
Ensure that the file that you're trying to cleanup is included in your solution.
Try to reopen solution (close and then open again).
Upgrade to 6.1.1, maybe its fixed there.

Both ReSharper 7 and 8 seems to work OK.
I know this is an old answer, but I found a little more insight on this. According to Jerrie Pelser in this blog post from last year, this may have to do with the file being part of a NuGet package. In my case, this was definitely it!
In case of link rot, basically the post mentions that ReSharper will avoid refactoring/code cleaning for files it detects were added as part of NuGet packages. This is similar to how it will not allow code cleanup for generated code.
I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.
In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.
First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.
For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"
This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)
Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)
If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.
This is caused by various X clipboard managers doing weird things with the clipboard. (bug report).
In XFCE the clipman applet was rolled in XFCE 4.8, and will be the source of these problems.
To fix this in XFCE - kill xfce4-settings-helper. You will need to use Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session to kill it, as otherwise it may restart automatically.
To prevent this starting next time, you will need to remove it from your startup/login programs in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.
Problem was solved with newer Eclipse releases. I think >= 3.6. Depending on your distribution there may be a (back)port of this (not on my Xubuntu 11.04) within the repositories.
So a tarball installation of Eclipse 4.0 works perfectly for me. Cut&Paste works and I am lucky that my plugins are compatible to 4.0.
Unfortunately Sublime Text has the same problems.
I read somewhere that in KDE maybe Klipper / "Klipper on the panel" conflicts with eclipse copy action.
It's a tool for clipboard history. Try to remove that! It may solve your problem :-/
For me the xfce4-settings-helper killing worked.
Workaround:
You can cut&paste from the compare view. So simply compare the un-copyable file (e.g., local history) with a different version and Control-C what you need there.
In the *.java editor page, right click and select open in text editor. Past your snippet there. Your Snippet will show in the *.java page'
I use Eclipse Kepler for PHP development. It's dumb I know.
None of the solutions suggested here has solved this source of frustration.
I can confirm the copy function works whether shortcut keys are bound or not. As I can copy from eclipse and paste into any other application. Except eclipse.
My solution. Accidental discovery: Eclipse Kepler will allow you to paste outside the php open and close tags and allow you to click and drag the highlighted block of content into into position.
Acceptable solution for small bits of code. Horribly crippling for larger development environments.
For Xming, this resolved the problem for me. In XLaunch uncheck Clipboard (clipboard manager) in the "Specify parameter settings" GUI form.
