Avoid Visual Studio Focus on Debug (2012 RC) - ide

how can I disable the feature that focuses Visual Studio when debugging starts? It is a bit of a pain, becuase I click debug, and I minimize Visual Studio as it is building, but when it finishes building Visual Studio pops back up (even with no breakpoints), and it is a bit annoying. I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 RC (Version 11.0.50706.0).

How to Update Version from Earlier Versions of Visual Studio to 2017?

I have a number of projects created in earlier version of Visual Studio. These open fine in 2017, I can edit and save changes, but the solution file still has the icon indicating they are VB10, VB11 or VB14 solutions.
My concern is that in later versions of Visual Studio the solutions will no longer be supported. Can I force a complete upgrade to Visual Studio 2017? Is this necessary?

visual studio 2017 safemode

After I installed an extension to Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise, VS crashes on startup. In previous versions there was a /safemode switch. I tried it but it seems to be no longer supported. What can I do to suppress loading of extensions in Visual Studio when it crashes (cannot disable extensions via extension manager).
Thanks
There is still a /SafeMode switch. If this does not help you need to do a repair on visual studio 2017

Visual Studio 2012 Premium crashes when I use the Solution Configuration Manager

Visual Studio 2012 Premium crashes when I use the Solution Configuration Manager (or drop down on tool bar) to switch from Debug solution config to Release. As soon as I make the selection to the Release config, I get a dialog with a progress bar stating it is looking for a solution to the problem and after a few seconds that dialog closes VS closes and another dialog opens that states it is restarting Visual Studio. I get this same behavior if I try to create a new configuration from within the Solution Configuration Manager; i.e., as soon as I save the new config VS crashes. During the crash I'm not given the option in the dialogs to get detailed info for the crash.
This did not happen with the same code in VS2010 and Win7.
My work-around is to modify the Debug config to be what I need for Release, and then put it back to what I need for Debug.
