Latest update to Visual Studio 2019 crashing a lot
-
I'm currently using Microsoft VS2019, smoothly, with no crashes. Probably, you'll need to completely reinstall VS2019 on your development machine. Beforehand, I recommend creating a complete VS2019 installation layout on your local drive and then use the offline installer. Here's how: Create an offline installation - Visual Studio | Microsoft Docs[^]. Simply, re-install VS2019 without any add-ins such as Intel Parallel Studio XE integration or whatsoever. And, then, try using it. Will it crash again? Specifically, for some time ago, I've experienced a problem using Intel Compiler 2019 XE integrated with VS2019. A complete re-install of Windows from my system drive backup helped to solve the following problem. Also, this could be also a hardware problem with system memory (RAM) on your development machine. In this case, I also recommend checking your PC's system memory with memtestx86+.
You mistake me for someone far less lazy than I am ;) (but thanks for the tips)

Have you tried changing your desktop wallpaper?

Not only that: I ensured my machine was plugged in, I checked my internet connection, and I also turned off the machine, waited 30 seconds, and turned it back on. I've essentially run the full suite of advanced help desk techniques. And still it crashes once a day! Doomed, I am.

ahh, life on the bleeding edge.... I DONT miss those days at all.
ON ERROR GOTO RULE 1
RULE 1 to 100: You will only update when I know it's safe and only when I say to do so.
RULE 101+: see: (rule # MODULO 100) + 1
GOTO RULE 1You have auto-updates on ???
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

For VS? No. (didn't know that was even a thing)

Is it just me or has the latest update to VS2019 made it a bit of an unstable mess? At least once a day it locks up and rolls over with all 4 paws in the air and restarts, losing whatever I had unsaved. I feel like I'm back in 1996, hitting Ctrl+S every 3 carriage returns

Hmm. It looks like you forgot to implement the "shake your mouse about" method.

No, no - first comes the Business Risk Assessment.

For that you need to hire a consultant. Incidentally, does anyone know of a message board that specialises in giving advice on repairing water buckets?

I apply all updates. I keep an eye on memory. Mine runs comfy with at least 1.2 GB for one session. Unload / reload a "sticky" project.

Depends what you're working on. For me, developing a UWP app, it's crashing every 1.5-2 hours at least (but it's not something new :D). One trick I use - every once in a while, when I end up with more than 30 open files, I close them all.

What is "latest"? Exact version number. Mine is 16.4.5 and in very rare cases WPF designer crashes, taking VS to the hell. I wouldn't expect too much from VS team - they are mediocres hired for food. Developers at MS degraded for years, so be careful with every update. :)

Do you have older versions of VS installed in parallel? I sometimes had problems when I just updated VS 2019 and not VS2017 or VS2015 on dev. machines, mostly not with VS itself, but with installed extensions/plugins.

You mean you stopped doing it? I never took you for a silly man, Chris.

No - clean install. I'm blaming my DELL.

"Latest" meaning "The version that isn't nagging me to upgrade". In this case 16.4.5. We're all production line monkeys at some point or another. Thinking we're artists is not something a typical employer wants to hear ;)

Yeah - closing open docs certainly speeds things up.
