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.

EDIT: Good information provided below to diagnose, but the issue was I was running Visual Studio 2022 17.3. Version 17.4 is required for .NET 7, and I had just installed that. Once I installed the latest version of VS, all my problems went away. Install with Visual Studio
Suddenly today, debugging my ASP.NET Core 6 and 7 apps suddenly has stopped working. I hit F5 to debug, it stops on my breakpoint, but as soon as I continue or step into, I'm shown this dialog:
I haven't made any changes to code, I'm simply trying to continue after I've stopped at a breakpoint. This just started happening today and I can't figure out what I did.

Well, if your visual studio stop working for debugging all type of application, please check following configuration:
1. Tools > Options > Debugging > .NET/C++ Hot Reload
2. Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > ASP.NET Core >
Furthermore, If you select the Always rebuild option in the dialog box, you won't see the dialog box again in the current Visual Studio session, and Visual Studio will automatically rebuild and reload instead of showing the dialog box.
Note:
In addition, as you can see above in the first release of Visual Studio (version 17.0) the standard Edit and Continue dialog is still shown when using Hot Reload with the debugger. This was a bug and has been resolved starting with 17.1 Preview 2 release.
If you still need more details about the issue you are having with, I would higly recommend you to check our official document here.
If issue still perist:
After checking above configuration, if your issue still persists and if you are not using Visual Studio (version 17.0) then you still reset your unknown setting in visual studio as following:
Go to Tools > Import and Export Settings.
Then No, just reset settings
Finally, restart Visual studio.
You can get more details here.
The problem is simple, this thing is just not installed.
And can't find any installer on the web.
"where wcftestclient" returns a not found.
When i press F5 and WCF project is selected, it just open my browser and show my svc. Useless.
What's wrong with my VS installation? Should i instal some SDK or so..?
Wanted to reinstal. Checked Windows Communication Foundation in visual studio installer components. Solved... sorry for not smart problem
I am developing an ASP.NET MVC4 application in Visual Studio 2015. For debugging I run it on the IIS server (v7) installed on my development machine.
Recently, when I change something in the source code and go to debug it Visual Studio says 'Trying to Contact the Web Server' then times out. When this happens the start menu (I am running Windows 7) becomes unresponsive (it opens but you cannot select an item or type anything in). I ultimately have to restart my machine, which is very time consuming.
I have tried running iisreset from the command prompt, but it doesn't fix the issue. It takes a long time to restart IIS.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this?
I have Windows 7 Professional x64. I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Visual Studio 2012 Premium installed on my machine.
I installed TFS Power Tools Decemeber 2011. I restarted my computer after successful installation. I then checked out a folder from TFS 2010 but the TFS menu items in Windows Explorer context menu do not appear when i right click on the folder.
I even reinstalled it by uinstalling it, restarting the pc and installing it again then restarting it again but same issue.
I have followed the instructions outlined in here:
TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
But same issue same issue occurs. Would anyone know what else i can do to get the TFS menu items to appear in the context menu please?
Thanks in advance,
I am not sure if this would help or you are willing to use a new version but I had the exact same environment and issue with you.
What I had done is that I uninstalled the old TFS Power Tools ( listed with a "Microsoft Team Foundation Server" prefix and/or "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" in Control-Panel/Programs-and-Features ) and install a newer version which is RTM. You can download them at http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=35775 and install the following in the same order listed below
Team Foundation Server 2012 RTM Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 1 Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 2 Power Tools.msi
Close Visual Studio before you start then restart after installing, you should see your context menu afterwards together with the green arrow that indicates it is in TFS
Here is a screenshot of it
Also please take note that after installation this would not happen instantaneously as advised on this post: TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
It sometimes takes a while for the TfsComProviderSvr.exe to check if
the local folder is a workspace and register the shell extension.
So this depends on many variables, your TFS server speed, your machine speed and your network speed. In my case I left it overnight to fully show everything.
Windows has a limit on home many overlay icons it can support. This started happening to me after i installed google drive, one drive, and dropbox and the TFSOverlay got pushed down to the bottom in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
You can fix it by either
Uninstalling some of the overlay apps. (Eg: remove Google drive
or Dropbox)
Rename the TFS folders in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers to start with numbers so they take priority (Eg: "1TfsOverlayAdd" , "2TfsOverlayEdit" etc.).
Also there is usually a delay for the green icons to appear in the folder explorer, so be patient.
I was having the same problem and just I executed this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 Power
Tools\TfsComProviderSvr.exe
After a few minutes the menu appeared.
This problem also occurs when you are running Visual Studio under different credentials (i.e. an account with Administrator privileges) than the logged on user. Logging on as that same user displays the ShellExtension correctly. But that's just not an option here...
I have not yet found a solution. It would be a nice feature to be able to set some options for TfsComProviderSvr.exe, so that one can let it watch workspace folders for a different 'Team Member' than the logged on user...
I've tried running Explorer.exe with other credentials, but that does not spawn a new TfsComProviderSvr.exe. Starting it by hand with the different credentials also does not seem to work. An instance of TfsComProviderSvr.exe is always (re)spawned for the currently logged on user.
Forgive me for sharing the obvious, but I had a similar issue, and in my case it appears that the default selected installed features were different than I expected.
I reran the installer using "Modify" instead of "Repair" and confirmed that the Windows Shell Extension feature was selected for installation:
I'm running a similar environment (VS 2010 Shell with VS 2013 Professional). Perhaps that impacts the defaults.
Here is the Power Tools Installer that I used.
I had a similar issue, I ripped off old the version, gave me some issues as you have to stop the TFS process and the explorer process but you can always restart explorer again once the old version has been uninstalled.
Then I restated my machine.
Installed latest version: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b1ef7eb2-e084-4cb8-9bc7-06c3bad9148f ( version 11.0.60506.0 )
Restarted my pc again
Navigated to a source control folder and all TFS icons and shell extensions now started to appear.
Bottom line, the latest version worked for me, did not have to fiddle with reg'values at all.
Here's how I fixed mine. I had installed Visual Studio 2015 and installed TFS Power Tools for VS 2015. I also installed Visual Studio 2017. I generally use VS 2017 and had attached to TFS there. I hadn't attached VS 2015 to TFS and the power tools menu would not show up in explorer. I finally realized that when they say you have to have the same version of Visual Studio installed that you ALSO have to have that visual studio Team Explorer connected to TFS. You don't have to use it beyond that, but it must be connected using the dialog, like you see here.
"Unable to start debugging 'C:\Windows\System32\WWAHost.exe'. The Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be running on the remote computer. This may be because a firewall is preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see Help for assistance on configuring remote debugging."
Searched for similar posts, but didn't found one. If duplicate just inform.
I am not trying to connect to any remote machine. Just testing on my local machine.
Is there any way to solve this issue. (I'm using Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit, just a javascript project)
Problem solved. Installed Remote tools update from here and working fine. Thanks for responding. Closing the topic.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by changing properties/compile/target platform to x86 instead of Any CPU. It solved the problem in my case. Hope it helps.
This happened to me just now when I had a website set up in IIS for mydomain.com, and set my project's start up url (Local IIS) to mydomain.com, and then launched the project before remembering to add a record in the host files for the domain:
127.0.0.1 mydomain.com
This got me for a good hour before I remembered I never set the record. Adding the record fixed it right away.
Windows 7 x64, VS 2012
In my case, the Remote Debugging Monitor component was installed and the app was clearly configured to debug locally in settings. This was a WinForms app upgraded from VS 2008, .NET 3.5.
Turns out it was the Windows Firewall. By directly running:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64\msvsmon.exe
A firewall dialog appeared where I could allow msvsmon.exe to run. After a VS 2012 re-start, debugging (locally) was fine!
Ensure you have Local Machine selected in this drop-down menu:
Windows 7 x64, VS 2012, VB.NET
I fixed it like this:-
Create a shortcut on your desktop to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64\msvsmon.exe".
Right-click shortcut and select "Properties" from the dropdown menu. Select the "Compatibity" tab, tick "Run this program as administrator" and click OK
Create a shortcut on your desktop to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe".
Right-click shortcut and select "Properties" from the dropdown menu. Select the "Compatibity" tab, tick "Run this program as administrator" and click OK.
To start VS2012:-
Double-click the msvsmon shortcut icon (that you created above, to launch msvsmon). Wait for the "Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor (Administrator)" window to display before continuing ...
Double-click the "Visual Studio 2012 Professional" shortcut icon (that you created above, to launch VS2012)
In VS2012, ensure standard toolbar is visible.
In VS2012, ensure "Solution Platforms" dropdown (on standard toolbar) is visible and set to "x86".
and debug now works (for me anyway) ...
However after 15 minutes or so, debug may stop working and you may get the msvsmon error again. If that happens, simply close VS2012 and msvsmon and then start again (from "To start VS2012:-" above) ...
Myself and several other developers have been trying to look for a solution for this problem for about 3/4 hours as Visual Studio crashed then this error would occur (twice in 2 days). I then suddenly (after a lot of debugging and trying other suggestions and headbanging) I somehow realised that the file which was highlighted had changed and when I was trying to debug was not the MVC app project, once I changed it to my project's one it then worked.
Hope this helps and saves people from hours of pain!
I also got this error, I usually run sites under a named user (which is also a database user) and forgot to set the Application Pool. (parliament's answer also helped me)
For me this worked in VS2013:
Save your work, close Visual Studio then reopen your project
I encountered this error as well.
The cause of mine was that I had accidentally emptied out the following property
Properties->Debugging->WorkingDirectory
Changing it to:
inherit from parent or project defaults
Solved the issue.
If you are using Microsoft's Azure, try attaching manually the debugger:
