C# application runs in the background as a process now i cant build the solution and cannot even kill the process - process

I ran into a very weird problem today with my C# application. I downloaded it today (from a trustworthy source my classmate sent me back the program we do together) At first when i tried to build and run the application, the whole visual studio got frozen and the app didnt even appear. After a lot of trying this problem just disappeared all of a sudden. However, now I cannot even build the solution, because I get the "unable to copy file because it is being used by another process" error message. I checked the task manager and the program runs in the background. I cant kill it because I have no access to do that(access denied message), I cant do that with a terminal command either(Because the terminal says this exe file is not running) and what is more even restarting my pc 2 times didnt make it disappear. It is no more in the processes after a restart, but i can still see it in the details view of the task manager.
I just have this program running in the background literally forever now?
Someone could explain me what even happened and if there is any way to solve it? I could even code (and build) the program for a while!

How to resolve error 0xc0000139

I'm developing a program on Widows10 with Qt. If I run it from the command line, it exits silently, immediately. When I try to debug it, a dialog box is displayed saying "During startup program exited with code 0xc0000139."
I know this means that Windows failed to load one or more DLLs.
How do I find which DLLs they were?
Ideally, I would prefer not to download any additional utilities beyond what is provided by Windows10 and Qt.
For what it's worth I resolved my problem.
It turned out the the program I was trying to run hadn't been rebuild since my last set of changes. I'm unsure why that was so, clearly my own error but I'm not sure what, precisely.
For the benefit of anyone coming here trying to find an answer to the question at the top of the page, if you have cygwin or another Unix-alike on your system, ldd is a good program with which to start looking through the sharable images you link to.

My application will no longer run

My application was running fine. I went to lunch and just came back and now I keep getting this.
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\WindowsApplication4.exe" to "bin\Debug\WindowsApplication4.exe". Access to the path 'obj\Debug\WindowsApplication4.exe' is denied. WindowsApplication4
I rebooted, restarted VS, copied contents to another directory, installed the latest VS service pack. Other applications continue to run, even ones that I had open at the same time this one was. So its specific to this application. Nothing changed between working and me coming back from lunch.
Any ideas? I got way to much here to lose things.

Android Studio Freezes

I use Android Studio 0.8.6 for Android Development, and when I'm editing a file, it will freeze, and I have to restart computer to close it, since System Monitor (I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) won't close it. It's always the same file I'm editing, this never happens with any other file. It shouldn't matter, but the name of the file is sun_vertex_shader.glsl. There's no error, or log output, or anything.
Here's exactly what happens - I'm typing in the file, the cursor freezes, stops blinking, and the mouse pointer is an I-beam, no matter where in the window I move it. The window doesn't close when I press the X, and when I restart my computer and open Android Studio again, I start editing the file and seconds later, it happens again.
I know you probably can't help me without any error logs, but I couldn't find any. If you know where I could find them, I will post them here.
I found out what is causing this: the GLSL plugin I downloaded from here is causing Studio to freeze, as I have read in the comments.
Please check your system Date/Time and correct it, this problem occurred if your system date does not match with current date.

VB 2013 Error when trying to load designer or code for form "Make sure the application for file type (.vb) is installed

I have worked on an application for some time now and after booting up my PC today, entering VS 2013, opening my project and trying to load my main form an error popped up.
There is no editor available for (Location of form) Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed
I have not uninstalled anything since last time the form worked, which was yesterday. My PC has a thing of sometimes randomly turning off, I don't know if that could have anything to do with the problem. I see several people with the same problem but they all seem to have a fix.
Involving re-installing some content that you have uninstalled and I do not think that is the case for me. When I execute the program VS prompts me saying that there are build errors, if I choose to run the last successful build the program works completely fine, but I still can't access the designer or code window.
This may be due to some reference file missing . Please make sure that all the references for the application is correctly added. If there is some file paths are shown like 'System can not find the reference specified' ,then remove the same and add them again from the correct path.

Visual Studio Express Crashing on Build (F5)

Complete beginners question here, literally.
I'm interested in developing Windows 8 Apps so I've just downloaded the development tools and installed them following the starting guide found here: Part 1 - Create a "Hello, world" App.
I followed the instructions exactly however Step 2 does not work, when I try and run the app. I hit F5 and then says in the Output module that the deployment is successful but the app does not run as indicated in the tutorial. I left it for 10 mins but the entire Visual Studio program was unresponsive so I ended the task in task manager.
The app did get added to the Windows 8 start screen and I CAN run it from there.
I then opened the program again and tried F5 once more, again this time the Output module indiates "Deployment Started.." but then the program crashes again.
Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I literally haven't changed a single line of code.
Also cancelling the build does not work.
Thanks for any hep!
UPDATE: In case it is confusing I use "Build" in the title because that is the term from the tutorial, I have noticed that under the menu's F5 is actually titled "Debugging" and "Build" is F7, I'm not sure if the tutorial has made a mistake, either way it does not affect my issue.
A simple re-start managed to fix this issue however I still have no idea what caused it!
