I use Visual Studio 2012 everyday for development. For the past week, what seems to look like a search animation is constantly playing in the status bar. What is this and how do I make it go away?

I was working on a project in VS 2017(trial) but now i have to work on VS 2012 instead due to company policy. The problem is that now the components in the design are errored out(Error creating control) and i can't proceed any further. Any suggestions on how to make it work in 2012?
Maybe this solution will be able to help you. Seems like a similar issue although it is for a previous version of Visual Studio.
How to downgrade from Visual Studio 2012 project to Visual Studio 2008
I'm using Visual Studio 2012, and SQL Server Management Studio 2012 also, but now I need to create new project in Visual Studio and that project (Integration Services) might be found under Business Intelligence, but the problem is next, I can't see Business Intelligence in my Visual studio, and after I did some research I've found next link:

I have VS 2012 and 2013 installed on my system.
I have a 2012 project that I want to get pulled up in VS 2013 when I double-click it from the Windows Explorer.
Is this possible?
If you only want specific slns to open in 2013, you can open the sln file in a text editor, and change the line
# Visual Studio 2012
to
# Visual Studio 2013
Note that it will ask you to upgrade the projects to 2013 when you open it for the first time. If you want all of 2013's compiler features you will have to upgrade, but if you chose not to it will still load in the 2013 IDE and you get some of the IDE related features.
Right click any solution file and select Open with... option. Use Visual Studio Version Selector as the default program to use for Visual Studio solution files.
I just installed Visual Studio 2012 and I am writing a C# program. However I can't see ho to switch to design view. In Visual Studio 2012 I seem to recall that there were tabs beside the main text area that let you select between code, design or split views? By the way when I was installing VS2012 I select web development as my 'main language' so I don't know if that might have something to do with the missing design view?
Is there any way to customise which languages are installed with Visual Studio 2012? I only want C#, no VB or F# etc.
I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2012 Premium RTM.
The first install page I see this:
and the next I see this:
but there's no option to choose which languages I want to install :-(
I think thats as much customization as your going to get.

According to those links they [Microsoft] removed then brought back the option for customization. And what you see there is all you get. I know my installation of VS 2012 (upgraded express to ultimate) is only taking up 2 gb so IDK why it is saying it needs 6.
I've raised the point on the Visual Studio installation forum, see what comes of it.
