Facing Issue: IntelliTest Exploration Results - stopped - asp.net-web-api2

So i'm working with IntelliTest to generate test cases and i'm on vs 2015 enterprise edition. The project that is under consideration is a Web API (asp.net) and it was developed in vs 2015 community edition.
This is how i'm going about it
Right Clicking on a Method and selecting RUN INTELLITEST
The intellitest window pop ups, says "listening to monitored x86 process (cold start)"
Then it stops randomly!
Consider the image:
What could be wrong with it? Thanks.

How do I "cancel and reset" a paused Visual Studio 2022 setup?

I'm trying to update my installation of VS 2022 to 17.4.5. The installation cannot complete because for some reason it cannot download two files:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.KeychainCredentialHelper.vsix
Microsoft.VisualStudio.RazorExtension.vsix
I've asked the infrastructure team at our company to investigate. But the problem now is that I can't work on anything in VS because there's an active setup. There's an option to pause the setup, but I can't find a way to cancel the setup so that I can continue working. I can't run tools like SQL Management Studio either.
Anyone know of a workaround to this issue?
EDIT: It appears the reasons these files are blocked is because they match the signature of a Virus/Win32.WGeneric.dxsfnc.

Coded UI Test Builder - Required reboot to start recorder not working

I am running a free version of VS 2019 Enterprise to test the Record function but when I click the 'Start Recording' button I get the bellow popup.
I have restarted my computer multiple times and added a new Coded UI Test Builder project in VS. I have also repaired the version that I have and am still facing the issue.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue are appreciated.

TFS Test Agent Configuration Tool for Selenium UI tests

My team has several Selenium Unit Tests that we run locally. Selenium opens a browser and runs through our application. This works fine locally. Now, management wants to run the tests, on demand, via TFS. Should be easy, right? WRONG!
I am having trouble setting up our TFS 2015 server to run these Selenium UI tests.
Everything I read tells me to run the "Test Agent for Visual Studio 2015" tool. Problem is, the tool does not exist on my machine and I cannot understand why. I have tried many things, like installing the MS Visual Studio "Agents", with no luck.
When I try to open the freshly installed "Agents" I get a message saying: "Test Agent for Visual Studio 2015 has no configuration tool".
So the VS.NET "Agents" panel never opens. Seems bizarre to me that I installed something that needs further configuration, with no way to perform that configuration.
From further reading, I think I need to provision a group machine in the TFS web administration page, but am totally unsure if that's required for my situation, as I cannot even get past the basics here.
I see other people have had this problem, with very little response or help from Microsoft. I am a little baffled at why this seems so very difficult to do on a TFS server? It runs locally just fine, like a breeze. But TFS? It's like a giant puzzle.
Once this is working, I need to configure the test agent to run in "interactive mode" so it can run the browser but I cannot even begin to figure that out yet. Where do you set it to "run interactive" because I dont see any of those options. Am I missing TFS installation components? Do I have the wrong Visual Studio? Do I need the Ultimate edition of Visual Studio to be able to perform UI tests with the browser? We have the Professional edition.
Here is someone with the same problem:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1712725/test-agent-for-visual-studio-2015-has-no-configuration-tool
Does anyone have any ideas or instructions on how to setup the "Test Agent" I need to run my team's existing Selenium UI tests in TFS2015? Seems very difficult when it should not be.
In the link you provided, Allen has explained that "There is no configuration UI with the test agent anymore. This is because we have simplified the existing remote testing scenario by doing the install and configuration for you when running via the build pipeline."
TFS 2015 Update2 now have a "Run Functional Test" task that you can use to run tests (included Coded UI Tests) against machine groups. So, first you have to upgrade your TFS 2015 to TFS 2015 Update2 if you haven't.
The tasks you need for test scenarios using Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) or Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015:
Create environments from physical or virtual machines that you've already set up.
Set up your build to run your app and tests in the environments that you created.
After your build finishes, review your test results to start resolving problems that you found.
So, your build process template should look like the screenshot below. You need to specify every task to meet the requirement of your project. All TFS tasks can be found at this website, you can get more information for each task from it. Coded UI or Selenium tests that are running on full fidelity browsers would need Interactive Process checked.:

VS2015 RC delay notification

Since some time i got some issue with my Visual Studio 2015 Community edition. When i am trying to debug my windows form application it's stack and when i click on visual studio window i see message
"Delay notification"
and i have to option either
"Switch To"
or
"Continue waiting"
. And it's never come back to work again i have to restart my computer to work again for some time again and then again. I am using windows 10. Do you have any clue why it happens?
Run Visual Studio's setup and click Repair. It's a long process, but works. Also, check if you have updated the Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools extension to the latest version.

Web Test recorder does not allow me to record a test IE11 windows 7

I am trying to record a Web Performance Test using the Web Test Recorder 12.00 plugin that comes with VS 2013.
This is what I get when the toolbar opens:
As you can see the buttons are greyed out and disabled.
I have followed this work around, but without any luck.
Are there any restrictions for this tool?
Is that a known issue?
I have disabled the Web Test Recorder Helper Add-on and restarted IE, and enabled Add-on again. And it worked for me.
I'm brand new to performance testing, and ran into the same problem using VS 2015, Win 7, IE11. The culprit in my case was an IE11 add-on called "Office Document Cache Handler". Microsoft was the one that created the add-on (which I find rather frustrating), but hopefully this helps someone down the road.
This is a known issue. Been around for years. Unfortunately, Microsoft has no sure fire method to resolve it.
I am currently having this issue and would really like to find a supported solution, as I will not be shelling out the big bucks for 2013 Ultimate with this issue stopping me from using it for web load testing.
Issues with this have been under discussion on msdn since at least 2007: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mtaute/archive/2007/11/09/diagnosing-and-fixing-web-test-recorder-bar-issues.aspx
3rd party edit
The link above contains different "fixes" depending on the OS and the VS version. The version 2013 was not mentioned. But to include at least some information the following quotes are extracts from Michael Taute (MSFT) post:
VSTS 2005: Vista:
Recorder bar displays, but the controls are disabled.
Fix: Webtest recording using VS 2005 on Vista only works when running in
elevated mode. [When launching VS 2005, right click the icon and choose to
run as administrator]
or
VSTS 2005, 2008: Windows 2003/Vista:
Recorder bar comes up, but the controls are disabled.
Fix: the web test recorder bar does not work with IE enhanced security
enabled. (VSTS 2008 will actually display an error message telling you
this) IE enhanced security can be removed from within the Control
panel / Add Remove Programs / Windows Setup
or
VSTS 2005, 2008, 2010 Beta 1: Windows 7:
When launching the recorder, the recorder bar does not appear
Fix: The Windows 7 security model is slightly different than previous
versions of windows. (go figure :)
To get the recorder to show up, you’ll have to run Visual Studio
in elevated mode.
I've got TWO addons:
Microsoft Web Test Recorder 12.0 Helper (Publisher = "Microsoft Corporation")
Web Test Recorder 12.0 (Publisher = "Not Available")
Both of them should be enabled, otherwise recorder toolbar is grayed out or not displayed at all. I'm running Windows 10 and VS 2013 update 5.
Instead of adding 'WebAndLoadTestProject' to existing solution, Start with new solution as given in below steps.
Open Visual studio in 'Run As Administration' mode
Create new project -> Test -> add 'Web performance And Load Test Project'.WebAndLoadTestProject
This opens IE browser with record button enabled state.
