Either that or hire a specialist consultant to change both.

can not rush in like that! first need business analyst to tell you what you need consultant for.
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 that you need to hire a consultant.
Incidentally, does anyone know of a message board that specialises in giving advice on repairing water buckets?

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.

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

Long shot, but I had this kind of issue once; solved it by deleting the .vs folder in solution's directory.

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 ).
One trick I use - every once in a while, when I end up with more than 30 open files, I close them all.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah - closing open docs certainly speeds things up.

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.
|
|
|
|
|
"Latest" meaning "The version that isn't nagging me to upgrade". In this case 16.4.5.

rebind the save to the enter key, might save you some work

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

I am required to keep patches up-to-date on all of my tools, so I update within a few days of a new update becoming available. I've had no problems with VS2019 being unstable. Maybe it's an extension that you use that combines with the update to cause problems?

That's what I'm thinking. I used to use GhostDoc religiously but it progressively became more bloated, unstable and froze up VS, so that's gone. I'm suspecting one of the other (very few) add ins I use are the issue.
It's a real shame that software, like cars, always seems to get bigger and bulkier, and rarely smaller, faster and more efficient.
