I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and has a fix for it? The problem is with VS 2012 Ultimate where when it has been minimised or the lock screen has covered it it appears as shown in the attached screenshot.
This is the only application on my system (Dell E6510 running Windows 8) that exhibits these symptoms so I'm inclined to lay the blame at the application's feet rather than the system.
Playing around with the following settings appears to have resolved the issue for me. Your kilometerage may vary
If I check then uncheck any of those options it works until I close it, then you have to repeat again next time.
So did more research and found this mentioned on MS Connect site...
"I had a quick look at the "Extensions" running in VS2012, and noticed one I remember magically appearing without me really asking for it. HDInsightTools for Azure."
I removed that and all works! :) So maybe you need to review Extensions installed?

We are using node to build the LESS files in our .NET application.
To do so, we have prepared some stuff to support that easier for all the developers. In the end we have a node version in the source control.
Everything works fine for everyone except one developer that has joined our team in the last days.
Whenever he tries to run the stuff, the CSS files are just empty.
To find the reason we have tried to skip all the stuff around and call node with the less package directly from console. This is working as expected on my PC but there is no output at the affected developers PC.
Also when we are using a path to not existing package there is no output.
On my PC there is an error logged into the console, the affected developer does not get any output.
The only parameters that seems to work are "-h" and "-v"...
As we could not find any usefull hints in the internet, maybe anyone having an idea what can be reason?
Windows-configurations, ....
Finaly we could solve the problem:
Don't ask why but uninstalling Visual Studio 2019, installing VS 2017 and installing 2019 again solved the issue somehow... everthing works as expected.
Reinstalling VS 2019 alone did not solve the problem before.
Maybe a hint in case someone else comes to this question with the same issue:
The reason for going to VS 2017 where different issues with ReSharper as well. Mainly performance issues of VS when ReSharper was active, but some functional issues too. This issues where gone as well after that.
It seems there was something broken with the VS2019 installation that was not repaired by uninstalling and reinstalling VS2019 but by VS2017...
I have been having problems with my Windows 10 (for example my localhost:8000). So I started looking for an answer, and it looks like the good old IIS is causing this issue, maybe because it's not enable in the turn Windows features on/off. SO in theory it should be a piece of cake right? Well when I click next I get the following message:
Windows couldn't complete the requested changes.
The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction. Error code: 0x80071A90
I read somewhere that it may be related to the .NET Framework, I have Framework 3.5 and 4.6 installed. I have tried all possible combinations, enable both of them, disable both, only one, everything! Not real information around regarding the Error code either.
Does it have something to do with the version of Windows that I have? Which is Windows Home. Is there any other way to make it work? Thank you in advance for your input.
As this is one of the first hits when you search for that error message posting solution here...
If you get this error when trying to "Turn Windows features on or off" in Windows 10 - make sure to disable Antivirus program.
Culprit for me was Avast.
To disable Avast right click on the icon in task-bar -> Avast shields control -> Disable until computer is restarted.
After Avast was disabled I had no problems with adding new features.
I've been away from Windows and Visual Studio for a few years. Now I have VS2012, and I notice that it fails to recognize that a file has changed on disk (i.e. by a different editor). In fact, even if I hit the refresh button on the Solution Explorer window, it still doesn't reload the file. I can close the window and reopen it -- still no luck. I thought "gosh, I hope I don't have to close and reopen the solution each time!", but it turns out even THAT doesn't do the trick.
Its as if VS is caching old copies of files and cannot imagine that someone might use something other than VS to modify them.
These are just local files, no network issues involved. I must be missing an understanding of some major new "feature", yes?

Ok, here's some progress. I've been using the VsVim extension to have a vim-compatible keymap. On a hunch, I disabled it, restarted VS, and found the problem solved. Then, I re-enabled it, and the problem is still solved. So the mystery remains, but not the problem.
I don't have VS2012 (I went up to 2005), but from what I remember, this is configurable from the IDE. In VS2005 go to the menu, choose Tools, then Options, then Documents, then you'll see the options to detect when files are changed externally, and to auto-load files changed externally. I think in VS2012 it'll be similar.
When I am trying do deploy/debug etc. my hosted app :
I am writing good credenials, and then something strange happen what happen only on one machine (sad to say it's only mine).
After putting sign in button (keep me signed checked/uncheced 100 times) it's would not login, but open sharepoint 2013 site in this window:
What I did:
reinstall visual studio
update visual studio
restart computers
clear cookies/catche etc.
Solved accidentally by installing CKSdev tools but only for one run...
It once happened to me that while it was a debug version all credentials were always rejected. I still don't really know why (it was a big project, not fully made by myself), but as a temporary solution you may try hardcoding your credentials. It's not perfect, but it may be working ;)
The one and only solution was reinstaling the windows, i didn find any other solution
edit:
After the newest updates this problem is solved
I'm happily in the middle of coding then I try to launch my app in debug mode but I get this error message.
Unable to activate Windows Store app
This app failed to launch because of an issue with its license
The app was launching fine a few minutes earlier so this came as a surprise. I tried restarting Visual Studio but doing so did not help.
I got the annoying "renew your developer license" dialog yesterday I think. It had renewed without issue.
How do I make this error message go away so i can debug my app?
Well, I got it working by deleting the main project's 'bin' and 'obj' folders. Cleaning and Rebuilding wasn't enough. Hope this answer saves someone else the few minutes of confusion I just experienced.
I recently had a similar issue. In my case I had to uninstall the re-install the app to get it working.
Hope this helps someone. Also, to find out further detail about why it failed, you can checkout the event logs:
Event Viewer > Applications and Services logs > Microsoft > Windows > Aps > Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational
There might be some more detail in there. In my case it was logged as an error event which said the app could not be launched because of a temporary issue with its license.
I just uninstalled the existing version of the app from the start screen, and then launched the app again from Visual Studio and it is launched just fine.
I think the reason behind this is because of renewing the license of Visual Studio and trying to launch an app that was installed when the previous license was active.
I see doing stuff with the bin and obj folders appears to be the accepted answer to this.
I fixed this issue by selecting the 'Uninstall and then re-install my package. All information about the application state is deleted.' check box under the Debug tab of the project properties. You can uncheck it once you've done it once for all future builds.
I haven't had any issue with this solution. Simple fix and you don't have to worry about someone doing something to folders that could cause bigger issues.

I've had this issue a few times now, most of the time deleting the Bin and Obj folders will clear the issue up (These folders are automatically generated during a project build so don't worry about deleting them)
I have found whilst debugging on a remote device (A tablet or phone) that Deleting these folders doesn't solve the problem though - in this case the best solution I have found is just to do a restart on the device I was remote debugging to.
Simple but it works!
I just cleaned my solution and re-started Visual Studio. That did the trick for me - and didn't involve hunting around for files to delete, so you might want to try that first.
go to BUILD-->Clean Solution and click and after its has been cleaned again go to BUILD-->Rebuild Solution. After it has successfully rebuilt your solution just deploy it(Ctrl+F5). This solved the problem for me.
