Apologies for the generic title but I'm not sure how best to explain this one.
Visual Studio is rendering badly in a number of locations, notably the Quick Watch window, Unit Test Sessions window and the Unit Test context menu, see screenshot at the below url. It has been this way since I installed Visual Studio 2012, the OS at the time was Windows 7 and I upgraded to Windows 8 recently so it is not a Windows 8-specific issue.
This is Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 Pro. The machine is a Core i5 with 12GB of Ram running at 1% CPU and 3Gb of Ram used so it's definitely not a problem with lack of power, which is the only time I have ever seen any rendering faults like this.
I have tried a repair install and also uninstalling and re-installing Visual Studio but it has made no difference.
This issue occurs solely in Visual Studio 2012, not in any other applications on the computer nor on VS2010 when I had that installed.
Some frantic googling has revealed nothing and I am out of ideas.
Solution
Downloaded some old Vista/Windows 7 drivers from here which solved my problem.
The most likely culprit is the video drivers. I'd confirm by switching to the Basic VGA Display driver to rule out video driver issues.
If this fixes the issue, I'd look for different video drivers or report the problem to the card manufacturer.

I have installed Windows Subsystem for Android and I am able to run apps on windows 11 however when I tried to run the emulator I created on Android Studio, it just does not no longer work and Android emulator is not responding.
It was working prior to the install, so I am assuming the cause could be when I installed WSA
Try turning on/off the Hyper-V option which you will get in the programs and features tab in control panel.
These are the four solution might help you to solve your problem.
This error occurs after installing latest android studio with amd processor.
Turning on/off SVM Mode will solve.
Install HAXM again
Turn on/off Hyper-V
AMD processor most of time shows this type of errors.
I'm on a Windows 7 PC. When I run the Android emulator from Android Studio on the command line, I get this error:
Failed on eglChooseConfig
Could not initialize emulated framebuffer
I can fix it by selecting software rendering, but that's really slow, and the GPU emulation was working a couple days before; it just suddenly stopped working.
I've tried changing it not to use multi-core CPU since it's labelled experimental, but I get the same problem.
Update: I just upgraded from AS 2.3.3 to 3.0.1. It installed a bunch of new emulator software, and I still get the same error.
Settings shown below:
It was not working because the display was set to 16-bit color. Set it to 32-bit color, and this particular issue may go away; there are other possible things that can cause the error.
I have a fresh Windows 10 installation on my MacBook Pro (Late 2016) along with the newest Bootcamp drivers. Everything is working and shiny up until now.
When I install Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise it works up to a point where the reboot takes place. This takes really long, but windows is starting again, for about 7 minutes windows boots while showing the loading indicator. When I'm finally prompted for Login, the MacBooks keyboard and trackpad doesn't work anymore, as we'll as I don't have a wifi connection or audio (having the x sign in taskbar).
I tried the whole painfull process three times now while ending up with the same problem. Windows is broken, which means I can't reinstall the bootcamp drivers (crashes system), no system restore points can be restored (failing), I can't reset windows (breaks the boot process and results in a blank screen). I guess this is somehow related to an intercompatibility between bootcamp and Visual Studio 2017.
I'm not sure if this is related to any specific components of VisualStudio which I install. I'll try a minimal install next...
It was the same for me, Windows 10 was loading 5-8 minutes and no keyboard and touchpad support. After 3-5 re-installs(windows and VS2017), found that issue caused by Hyper-V virtualization. It is disabled by default, but as soon as you installed VS 2017 with at least one component which require Hyper-V, you will never be able to login to you windows on macbook pro.
Just DO NOT install any emulators:
Google Android emulator,
Intel hardware accelerated execution manager(HAXM),
Visual Studio emulator for Android,
Windows 10 Mobile Emulator
And Windows will work fine.
Whenever I try to run Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on Windows 8 Professional x64 bit I receive the following dialog:
This program has compatibility issues:
Any idea why should there be any compatibility issues for the product which was released for Windows 8?
It is a problem already signaled by other users, seems that installing the Update2/Update3 will resolve the problem.
You could trigger the install of the Update going to the menu Tools, selecting Extensions and Updates and then checking for Updates. Beware, before to start be sure to have plenty of time. It is a long process and is not very fast
Recently, Visual Studio 2012 has been acting up. As I'm developing ASP .NET applications I routinely tab between the browser (Chrome) and the Visual Studio IDE. Sometimes when I attempt to tab back into Visual Studio the window will not come up. At that time if I look at my task manager I'll see that the devenv.exe process is using about 10 to 20% of CPU time and is gathering more and more memory for itself. This goes on for about 20 seconds or so before the IDE is responsive and usable again. Eventually, the IDE can't recover and I need to terminate the process.
My desktop is a 64-bit quad-core i7 # 3.4GHz with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows 7 OS. Typically devenv.exe will use about 500 MB of RAM. When the problem above begins to happen it will quicky ramp up to 1.5 GB and has been as high as 2 GB.
The only add-on I'm using is ReSharper 7.1. I have no further IDE customizations apart from the built-in dark color scheme.
EDIT — I have tried disabling and removing R# which has had no effect on this problem.
EDIT — Bug report on Microsoft Connect
I used to have this all the time until I installed VS 2012 update 4 then it all went away.
I also only use resharper ( version 8).
