Visual Studio 2013 slows down + crashes when using Source Control features.

I have spent two full days trying to resolve this issue but no luck so here we go,
I have created a project using Visual Studio Team Foundation Server plug-in in the past. Later on I switched to
Microsoft Git Provider.
Now when I connect to that project in the Team Explorer and double click on the solution to work on it locally it somehow changes the plug in to Microsoft Git Provider automatically and of course I can't
Commit/Commit and Push since I receive following error in the Team Explorer,
An error occurred. Detailed message: Failed to open directory 'C:/Users/.../AppData/Local/Application Data/'
Manually changing the plug-in to the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
results in a broken Team Explorer as below,
With Settings leading to an empty pane, and also a warning in the Team Explorer's Changes page telling me the message below if I click on Pending Changes...
Microsoft Git Provider is not the current Source Control plug-in. Change Plug-in
And manually selecting the solution from Solution Explorer, right click and
Add Solution to Source Control, leads to never ending hour glass and (Not responding) visual studio.
New Projects
Creating a new project is straight forward, unless I "Add to Source Control" is checked. If so, again never ending process if Microsoft TFS plug-in is selected in the tools and eventually me Ending the Visual Studio task. And a VERY long process
(40+ mins) if I have chosen Microsoft Git but that finishes successfully rather.
New TFS project from Team Explorer
If I create a new project in my Online Web Studio
Click on Open with Visual Studio Link => Opens and connects to a my newly created TFS in team explorer.
Clicking new in Team Explorer under Solutions to create a new solution and bind it to this Repo
leads to straight crash of Visual Studio and restarting attempt of VS.
So I really can't use Source Control from visual studio other than cloning GitHub's existing repo's on Visual Studio and Committing my current Microsoft Git managed projects.
I have attempted
Repairing Visual Studio (no luck in results)
Devenv.exe /setup (no luck)
Trying to scrap the SCC info on my solution then at least it won't get picked up by source control then I can Check it in as a new project. (no luck and the solution picks the Microsoft Git upon opening it by clicking on the .sln file.) I have followed
these steps in this stack overflow answer.
And lots of mucking around like removing my workspaces almost Thousand times and putting them back, binding and etc.
I am really stuck on this and it's holding me back from staring a new project (which is problematic using Adding to Source Control) and unfortunately is dependent on the old project (which is developed under Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Plug-in which
is throwing tantrums)
Would like to hear you pro-s input on this
Using
Visual Studio 2013 Community edition (recently switched from Pro to Express to Community)
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Git tools
Git windows installation
Nuget Package manager

Hi Mehradzie,
Based on the description, seems you're working with Git team project in Visual Studio Online(formerly Team Foundation Service). I'd like to know whether you mean Visual Studio Git command tool as the plug-in, and if you're trying to create solutions/projects
with Visual Studio and add them to the created Git team project.
From the screenshot, you're not connect to the Git team project by using Team Explorer. To work with Git team project locally, you can follow the instructions as below:
Connect to Git team project by using Team Explorer, after that you might install Git tools if you connect to the team project for the first time
Clone the remote Git repository to a local git repository and set the path to local git repository
Create a solution and select Git source control, also saved to the local path of the local git repository
Select your branch, and then click "Changes" and Commit the changes
Click "unsynced commits" and push the commit to remote git repository
You can also refer to the links below for more information about getting started with Git in Visual Studio Online.

"Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional Stopped Working" When I'm Trying To Install

So for a college class we were given a link to a visual studio exe file. Visual Studio 2013 Professional Update 2.
When I try to run the exe file it just gives a black rectangle for a few seconds with the visual studio logo on it then stops and gives the message I showed in the thread title. and it also says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I have the 4.5.2 update.
Can't figure out why I can't install it.
Heres a link to the vslog:

According these errors, It seems the issue was due to you are using a web installer and your installation source may be corrupted.
You can download the latest Visual Studio Professional 2013 package now:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44916
I recommend you can install the VS by ISO installer.
•Choose this download link, and then choose the Save button.
•After downloading the ISO file, you should use the
File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to calculate and verify that the SHA-1 value for this file matches the value listed on the
Visual Studio 2013 ISO Files SHA-1 Values page.
And after down load you should follow up these
Installation Tips in the link to install your VS.

Acrobat Pro XI frequent crashes when using New Window feature

As a lawyer using Acrobat Pro XI to review legal documents, I find the New Window feature invaluable since it lets me view different parts of the same document at the same time. However, when I use this feature I encounter frequent crashes, more often if I insert a comment in one of the windows. Inserting those comments are very important to me. Is there any way to avoid the crashes while using the New Window and Comment features together?

Can't uninstall Visual Studio 2013 Professional

I installed the trial for Visual Studio 2013 Professional. Now when i try to remove it I can't. When I click on VS2013 in Programs and Features and select "Change" I get an error that says "Microsoft Visual Studio Professional
2013 with Update 4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." and a Debug and Close Program button. I have re-installed the
program and it still does the same thing. I can run VS2013 and I don't get any error when I open it.
Is there any other way of uninstalling the program?
Thanks!
Patti Neavin

Hello Patti Neavin,
Have you tried to download a standalone installer and run it to uninstall? The installer may leave something in your OS so that it can use it to uninstall your setup. I think that package may corrupt. So if you tried to use a standalone installer which is
alright, you may fix this problem.
You may also try a tool from here
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall?wa=wsignin1.0
The tool said it is applied for Visual Studio 2010, however I got threads that some customer can also fix related issues by using this tool.

SSIS script task using visual c# 2012 language when creating package in Visual Studio 2013

Is it right or my installation was all wrong.
When I am trying to use a script task in an SSIS package using Visual Studio 2013, the available languages are visual c# and VB 2012.
I was expecting to find visual c# and VB 2013 since I was using Visual Studio 2013.
I already installed the "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013" available for sql 2014
Please help clarify this. Thanks beforehand.
Paulino

Hi Paulino,
According to your description, the ScriptLanguage property of C# script tasks show "Microsoft Visual C# 2012” in SSDT-BI for VS 2013.
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And I find that the ScriptLanguage property of C# script tasks show "Microsoft Visual C# 2010” in SSDT, and show "Microsoft Visual C# 2012” in SSDT for SSDT –
BI for VS2012. It only appear in SSDT-BI for VS 2013.
The issue is by design. But we can check "Do not show this again." to ignore the dialog and the task can be executed without any problem.
The following feedback is for your reference:

How do I make Visual Studio 2013 use my dedicated graphics card instead of integrated graphics on my laptop?

I am using Alienware 13 as a portable workstation. I do game development on Unreal Engine 4 using Visual Studio 2013. The issue I am having is that when I want to debug codes in Visual Studio 2013, it launches Unreal Engine 4 through the debugger and uses
the integrated graphics card rather than my dedicated graphics card, which is an nVida Geforce 860M.
When I wanted to change the settings in the NVidia Control Panel, I see this:
The drop-down menu is grayed out, so I cannot select to change the graphics card to my dedicated card.
What should I do? How do I make it so that Visual Studio uses my dedicated card? Thanks in advance.

Hi tom_mai78101,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
It seems that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
As you said that you want to change the setting so that Visual Studio uses your dedicated card in NVidia Control Panel, since this NVidia Control Panel is third-party tool, we are not support it. So please post this issue this issue directly
to this NVidia Control Panel Official website:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-communities.html , you will get better support.
Thanks for your understanding.

How do I put a project using nmake (or other make util) into a visual studio 2013 project?

I'm not asking how to convert it over to visual studio's internal setup. I want to use the custom build feature to build the code prior to building the current project so that the library generated will be available to the project.
Steps I've used I got from
here:
Create a win32 dll project.
Copy the files into a subdirectory under the project.
In the Solution Explorer, I create a Filter that I then add all of the source, headers and Makefile to.
I select all of the items in that filter group and right click and select properties.
In Configuration Properties->General, I change Item Type to Custom Build Tool and click Apply. (In the Visual Studio 2013 community, this sometimes comes up with:
An error has occured while saving the edited properties listed below:
One or more values are invalid. Object reference not set to an instance of and object.
Yeah, that's not cryptic. 9.9. When that happens, I just click Ok and then click on the parent window, and it will ask me
Do you want to save the changes you've made to the property page?
To which I click Yes and it seems to apply it to all the files and I then reopen the property page again.
I then go to Configuration Properties->Custom Build Tool->General and set
Command Line to:
cd subfolder
nmake
For Outputs, I set it to subfolder\bin\output-file.lib.
For Link Objects, I leave it as Yes.
Clicking on ok and then building gets me the following error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'subfolder\bin\output-file.lib'.
Yeah, no kidding, it hasn't been made yet.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Adrian

I was trying to get it to be part of another project, and the information from Specifying Custom Build Tools stated:
If the Custom
Build Tool folder does not appear, the file extension of the file you selected is associated with a default tool. For example,
the default tool for .c and .cpp files is the compiler. To override a default tool setting, in the Configuration
Properties node, in the General folder,
in the Item Type property,
click Custom Build Tool.
Click Apply and
the Custom Build Tool node
is displayed.
Indicating that what I was trying to accomplish could be done. However, since this is 3rd party code, this seems to be a cleaner way of doing it.
Thanks,

Sharepoint 2010 Remote Development using Visual Studio 2013 Connection Errors

I have a customer who is using a custom skinned site developed in Sharepoint 2010.
I am trying to debug a webpart that is not loading on a page.
My Environment:
Local Laptop running Win 7 64 Enterprise, Visual Studio 2013, and Sharepoint Designer 2010.
I connect to the customers network via VPN and use RDP to access the server. I have Admin rights to the server.
Everything that I have read indicates that Web Part dev has to be done in VS. When I try to connect using server explorer, VS kicks back a 'Server Can not be found' error.
I have tried using the computer name, the app url listed in SP Central Admin, the IP address of the box, and the actual URL of the site. However, VS can not connect to the server.
I have done some homework on connecting VS to a remote machine:

The last connection article is confusing because one of the SO answers indicates that you do not need to have SP2010 installed.
I have been doing lots of reading on SP structure, and it seems to jump all over the place. (Or at least my research does). I have been reading this Ebook:
SharePoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010
http://books.google.com/books/about/SharePoint_2010_Development_with_Visual.html?id=TVKICs4vHTcC
My questions are:
Why cant I connect to the Server if I connected through VPN which would inherently make the server a local network computer?
Do I need to have VS installed on the actual server? I read that I can install Sharepoint Foundation locally and this will give me access to the server in VS.
Do I need to have the full version of VS installed in order to use Remote Tools?
For the Web Parts:
Why cant I see the web parts in Sharepoint Designer? I take it they are exclusively designed in VS, which brings me back to the questions above.
In Sharepoint Designer, I can see a custom view that was created from a custom list. I want to add that list to the page where the web part isnt working. When I open up the Edit Interface, and try to find that list, it does not display in the 'Lists and Libraries'
menu

Hello,
As per your description, remote deployment is not possible for server side code in sharepoint so if you are using server object model then you won't be able to debug or deploy your solution from visual studio.
VS is not required to installed on UAT/prod server but you need sharepoint along with visual studio in same development machine to develop any custom webpart.
Once you deploy your custom webpart on site then you will be able to see that webpart in webpart gallery and that gallery is also available in designer so it means you can also add your custom webpart from designer to any page.

Why Visual Studio 2013 express edition always show repair or uninstall when I open it??

I don`t know why my Visual Studio 2013 express edition always show repair or uninstall when I open it??
I install it yesterday and it worked fine, but today when I open it, its says repair or uninstall all the time.... Anyone know why?
Hellpppp

Hi,
I think your VS may have been corrupted. I suggest you click "repair" to repair your VS.
If it can't solve your issue, please use ISO file to reinstall it.
If you used a web installer, please download the ISO file from the website.
http://search.microsoft.com/en-in/DownloadResults.aspx?q=Visual+Studio+Express+2013
Before you reinstall it,please use this tool
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290 to verify hash of the ISO. Any discrepancy would indicate that the file was corrupted.
The sha1 value of ISO could be found in "Install Instructions".
If you have made sure your ISO file have no problem, please reinstall it.
If you have any further question, please feel free to let me know.

Visual Studio 2013 hangs/freezes when trying to click the designer view

my Visual Studio 2013 update 1 hangs/freezes when trying to click the designer view, after clicking "Design" I can not click "split" neather "Source". What can I do ? I already tried to set the "HTML (Web Forms) Editor
" as "Default"... thanks for support.
In VS2010 the same worked fine.
I "Run as Administrator".
ty for help

Hi,
I assume that you are not using VS2013 Express version. In order to get the reason about the hang issue, please use devenv /log to gather activity.xm log and find HR error from this log.If it shows some package corrupt, try to repair your VS.
Here are my general suggestions:
Please try to run devenv /ResetSettings (in command prompt) to eliminate the related potential settings problem.
Try disabling Add-ins (e.g. “Tools” | “Add-in Manager”) or run “devenv.exe /SafeMode”.This can eliminate the possibility that third party Add-ins or packages are causing problems. Also you can try these command lines:
devenv.exe /resetskippkgs and devenv.exe /resetuserdata
Try to create a new user account. This can help isolate user profile corruption related causes.
If the suggestions above are no help, please reinstall your VS.
