Visual Studio has recently started crashing any time I use CTRL F to try to search the document. The only update I have recently installed is one to the NuGet Package manager. I have changed no other settings recently.
I tried to retrieve the logs, but everytime I update them by typing devenv /log into Run, it launches Visual Studio, and the error log (found in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0) is full of reports about starting up visual studio and includes no warnings or errors.
Not sure what to do, CTRL F is kind of important for coding, for me at least... and I think everyone.
Any help is appreciated.
Ever thought about reinstalling or using the repair function? If that does not help take a look at the event viewer of windows. Maybe it contains some other outputs.

When I right click my project and go to Class Wizard I'm met with the following error:
"The solution's source code database may not have been opened. Please make sure the solution is not open in another copy of Visual Studio, and that its database file is not read only."
What I've tried so far:
Creating a new project
Restarting Visual Studio
Restarting PC
Repairing Visual Studio
Reinstalling Visual Studio
Installing MS SQL Server Compact 3.5
Deleting the folder: C:\Users\Jacob\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
None of these have had any effect, and I'm finding very few pages online where others have had this issue. I am totally at a loss on what to do next.
If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate them.
It turns out the problem here was actually caused by JetBrains Resharper C++, which I didn't consider could be the problem.
There seems to be no solution, however the program provides an alternative Class Wizard in the same menu.
I am trying to debug an application i made a while ago. When i click the start button, nothing happens but the classic windows error sound and then it stops debugging.
I then tried to debug a brand new project, same result.
This is a fresh install of windows and visual studio.
Hitting Ctrl + F5 works so i am pretty sure it is a problem with the
debugger.
I am running visual studio in Administrator Mode
I have tried this in VS2012 and VS2013, both have the same result. But on VS2013 there was an error which may or may not be related.
...has exited with code -1073741819 (0xc0000005) Access Violation
Please let me know of anything i can try to give you more information.
Update:
If i debug for x64, it works. But it does not work for x86 or "any cpu"
I would suggest that you first try to clean and rebuild your project, if it doesn't help, it may be a problem with your Visual Studio installation.
You need to repair your Visual Studio. You can do so in Control Panel -> Programs and Features, look for your version of Visual Studio and click on Change. Follow the on-screen instruction to Repair your Visual Studio installation.
Whenever I type in CTRL + F to launch the visual studio quick find it takes about 2 to 3 seconds to show.
This is really annoying and sometimes frustrating as I am used to start typing the search criteria instantly after launching the quick find and since it is still loading I generally start typing in the code by mistake...
This problem started occurring when I decided to switch to Visual Studio 2012. It did not occur on the previous versions...
Any help would be appreciated :)
I saw this advice on another website, maybe it will help you.
It would appear that other people are having the same problem.
Here is the MSDN documentation
Upon installing Visual Studio 2012, I found out that all operations related to TFS (such as adding a new file, check in/out, etc.) were incredibly slow and would freeze the application for quite some time. If this is the case for you, try this solution:
Edit the Visual Studio config file found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config
and locate the following line:
<system.net>
Right below (above settings, NOT under), insert the following line of code:
<defaultProxy enabled="false" />
Your visual studio should now be more responsive!
With visual studio 2017, this issue seems to have been solved. However, I stopped using the integrated TFS with visual studio. I know only use VS Pro for debugging.
I also recommend to use the new free light VS Code and do MSBuild commands via MSBuild CLI tool. It has way fewer features than VS Pro but for web development (SPA's) it's great. Do install some plugins if you choose this editor.
I used to have R# 6 with VS2010 and it was great.
Now I installed yesterday R# 7.1 trial and my VS 2012 became slow to the point I really
want to uninstall R# despite all the heartache involved with it.
Any advices on how to troubleshoot this performance issue?
Please be more specific: what kind of projects do you work with, did you notice which particular actions are slow (for example, opening a solution, invoking code completion (IntelliSense) in JavaScript or something like this). Without details I can only give you these general advises:
Close Visual Studio, try to delete your solution caches (they are usually located near your *.sln file, in folder named like _ReSharper.), open Visual Studio again.
Try to temporaty disable/uninstall all other Visual Studio extensions/plugins.
Try ReSharper 8.0 EAP, maybe your issue is fixed there.
ReSharper has a feature that allows you to profile it (menu ReSharper | Help | Profile Visual Studio). If you know a reproducible slow action, you can invoke this feature, make this action and then send this performance snapshot to JetBrains support (http://www.jetbrains.com/support/resharper/) or open a bugreport at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/. They could tell you which part of ReSharper is slow and how to disable that part.
I am getting an Exception when I am trying debug my application on Emulator (Web Role).
you can see exception by clicking following link
Configuration which I am using Windows 7 pro, VS 2012 Pro, Azure SDK 1.8
Hope it might help others.
I Also had the similar problem and I restarted PC and **Run Visual Studio as Administrator**.
And let Visual Studio start the emulator with same privilege resolved the issue.
I was using Visual 2013 and Web API application under IIS Express.
Do you have IIS added? Most likely it's already installed but you've to enable it via Add Windows Compoenents on Control Panel...
I had this same issue all of a sudden, luckly I remember changing the ServiceDefinition.csdef file. I rolled this back to an earlier version and the debugger ran again correctly. The only thing I changed in the 'broken' version was instance size from small to medium.
Go to visual studio installer(search it from window's start)
and update the visual studio.
After updating, hit modify
button, after that on right side you will find a box named
debug (or something like that), select that box
Then hit install.
Restart your visual studio and debugger will start working.
In my case it worked perfectly.
