I searched both the web and stackoverflow and I feel I'm the only one, so probabyl I'm soing something very simple ver wrong.
I run VS11 (2012) on a Win 8 64 machine and everything is nice and neat, the profiler too seems (!) to work as it should just that at the very end he's never able to show any results. I get an almost empty window which say that there are no data to show.
I used the "Sampling"
What i found browsing the web is a MS article saying the "Sampling" (which I used) is not available, which would explain it, but A) the article was about the Win8 preview and B) I also found some people giving nice examples of using the VS11 Profiler on Win 8 (in Sampling), so I know some people got it working. But how ?
I also tried running VS explicitly as Admin but it didnt make a difference. And yes, Instrumentation is working, but thats of no help for our project, we need Sampling.
I am also having this problem (I'm running Visual Studio Ultimate 2012, Windows 8 x64). It seems that if the program runs very quickly (mine runs under a second), there are no results. I decided to make it run for a few seconds and the sampling profile worked. After scouring the internet I have found some unhelpful webpages - but maybe they will report a fix in the future:
A thread on msdn about this issue
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsprofiler/thread/c609d76c-be22-4ffb-858c-73ccab591a78/
A blog saying that you should use Windows 7 to be able to configure anything for sampling (I hoped to be able to turn the sampling frequency down, but that isn't possible).

Pretty much title.
Cursor constantly changes from standby to loading, but other then that the screen stays white.
I have tested it on windows server 2019 and it worked, same goes for my local computer which is windows 10.
I tried building a x32 bit version and it crashed.
There is barely any information on the internet regarding older versions, and the one thread I saw mentioned what Ive tried already.
Can anybody point me to the right direction? I'm kinda clueless right now and trying to compare things like .NET Framework and such (although I'm pretty sure it's not related at all?)
Thanks!
EDIT:
I'm getting an error in the event viewer that theres a faulting modoule, and it is ntdll.dll
going to continue research for now!
Just incase anyone sees this and have a similar issue:
1.The desktop on our citrix server was programmed to be located on a network share and not on a physical hard drive, so I had to move it to the proper folder.
2.The application worked only when I placed it on the local drive, and only as a 32 bit application.
I spent two days basically trying everything on a 64 bit application, because when I tested the 32bit one it just crashed, but it turns out they were two seperate issues which are finnaly resolved!
For over a month now I've been experiencing problems with VS2017 on my home PC. I even tried submitting the feedback to Microsoft. There's more info about the problems I'm experiencing there.
The problem:
The gist of it is that VS is eating RAM like crazy. As soon as I start opening files, adding new files, using IntelliSense, building or (especially) debugging, the RAM usage skyrockets.
After that it's only a matter of time before the VS crashes and restarts without any error message. Though there are numerous error messages throughout these breif ~20min I have with each session.
Additional details I observed:
Doesn't happen with Python projects, as these don't have to be built constantly. It might be eventually happening if you debug a lot, but I didn't have the chance to check that because most of my Python coding is debugged on an external device
Size of the loaded solution doesn't matter;
UWP and WPF seem to crash the most. Console Projects take longer to crash.
Also affects .NET Core;
It doesn't matter which version of .NET Framework I use;
VS2015 worked perfectly, but I don't have it anymore after the format
What I already tried:
I reinstalled VS;
I refreshed Windows;
I reinstalled Windows;
I checked my drives and RAM for issues - none found;
I switched from Community to Enterprise;
I tried disabling extensions;
I applied some shady hotfix I found somewhere;
Finally, I installed Rider which seems to be the best solution as of now. It still lacks many important features, though.
Is there anything else I can do/try/check? Did anyone experience (and fix) a similar issue?
Cheers!
You get a System.OutOfMemoryException, this means your Visual Studio runs out of free virtual address space (4GB on 64 Bit Windows for the 32Bit Visual Studio because Visual Studio is configured to be large address aware and MS refuses to release VS as 64Bit program which would fix this issue).
To analyze the memory usage, you need to run WPRUI.exe (part of Windows Performance Toolkit (which gets installed by VS2017) for some scenarios, if not, install it on your own), select Reference Set (Note: expand the Resource Analysis entry first to see all options).
and click on Start. Capture the memory usage grow for some 100s of MB and click on Save.
Open the generated ETL with the analyzer (WPA.exe) and analyze what the process devenv.exe is doing.
Also zip the ETL + NGENPDB folder (important) as zip and attach it to your bug report so that Microsoft can analyze it.
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 have successfully used the WPRUI and WPA applications in the past, the last time a month ago, to identify performance problems in our C++ applications. But today I recorded a new trace of one of them, and open it just to see WPA crashing.
It's reproducible every time by opening an ETL and going to Graph Explorer -> Computation -> CPU Usage (sampled) -> unfold. Just clicking to see the CPU sampled graph list. Sometimes it crashes silently, sometimes with the dialog that lets you debug the crash.
Has anybody experienced problems like this? I don't see any support forum in the Windows Performance Toolkit site, and I would like of course to find a solution for this. Any hints are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
PS: reinstalling doesn't help. Neither does removing user preferences. The stack only showed me a problem accessing memory out of bounds, in a "Task" class, but I can't get the debug dialog to show again (it's crashing silently now, every time).
PS2: the only significant change I remember to have done in this past month is installing the CTP of Visual Studio 2015, and letting Windows upgrade a bunch of packages it had pending (I'm in a capped subnetwork and Windows doesn't upgrade automatically).
The VS2015 CTP installs a .Net 4.6 pre-release version. Maybe this .net versions causes the issue. So remove VS2015 CTP and the .Net 4.6 Preview and reinstall .Net 4.5.2.
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?
