Visual Studio will not debug any of my projects - c#

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and the same problem is also occurring with Visual Studio 2010. Basically, when I press F5, Visual studio attempts to run and debug the project, it then plays the "Exclamation" sound like one from a message box; and then it stops debugging the project. Nothing is said in my output window, it's as if nothing happened. I've looked everywhere on the internet but I haven't found anything!
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

It sounds like you might have a corrupt install. I would suggest trying to repair the installation.

You can use the Cancel command in the Build menu, which is the same as pressing CTRL+BREAK.

Found this bug report in Visual Studio Developer Community Forum.
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/ASPNET-project-Web-Forms-Build-never/10041947
It says that this bug has been fixed and slated for a future release. It also points to another bug report for a workaround.
Until the fix becomes available, here is a workaround that can be used to unblock this scenario:
Install the Feature Flags extension.
From Main Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Feature Flags - check the item
"Solution.Services.UseLegacy"
Press Ok and restart Visual Studio.
Another option is to update the value
[$RootKey$\FeatureFlags\Solution\Services\UseLegacy] from
Microsoft.VisualStudio.FeatureFlags.pkgdef and run devenv
/UpdateConfiguration - as described in the discussion above.
If you can't find the Break key for the Ctrl+Break method, look for the Pause Break or Pause key. If this is accessible by the Fn key, try Ctrl+Fn+Pause/Pause Break.

Build Errors in Visual Studio 2019 inconsistently show up in Error List

I recently updated from Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition to Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition.
Now, if I build my solution with errors, they will show up in the build output, but not all of them will appear in the error list. It would appear only errors of open files will show up in the error list. This is incredibly annoying.
I am not alone in this issue. It has been reported many times on Microsoft's forums, but no one has a definitive solution.
I have tried a variety of solutions people suggested in those threads:
I have ensured the filters are legitimate: Entire Solution, Errors enabled, Build + Intellisense.
I have tried deleting the .vs folder and restarting Visual Studio.
I just updated to the very latest Visual Studio 2019 version. Supposedly there are many different versions of this error, happening in versions of Visual Studio all the way back to 2017. Some supposedly have been fixed...?
I have disabled parallel project loading.
I have experienced this before in other versions of Visual Studio with Razor pages. To my knowledge, that's to be expected in Razor though.
The only other factor that I severely doubt impacts anything is that it's a Visual Studio project generated by Unity editor. From what I've read, ASP.NET, Razor, Xamarin, and other frameworks have each had their own version of issue reported. Perhaps Unity is afflicted by it too, but I don't see how or why. I doubt Unity's auto-generated Visual Studio projects are that different from your standard library projects.
I have now installed Visual Studio 2019 on two separate machines, and it appears that "Full Solution Analysis" is disabled by default.
Simply check the checkbox in options and everything seems to work as it did previously:
For those using Visual Studio 2019 v16.9.1 make sure your Error List window looks something like this:
The important part for me was selecting Build + IntelliSense (previously it was set to Build Only which explains why the error list would only refresh on build).
In my case the solution was to switch off 'Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->General->Show output window when build starts'. Even though the 'Output' window showed "0 succeeded, 1 failed" it would not switch back to the 'Error List' window even that the checkbox above 'Always show Error List if build finished with errors' should have moved it to 'Error List'. Clearly a bug in Visual Studio 2019 which was not present in Visual Studio 2017 (I just finished updating).
In my case, it was the fact that I was building under a Release profile. Once I chose Debug from the dropdown next to the Start Debugging button, it started showing my errors in the Error List after a few seconds.
In my case it was since the dependency dll was built for x86, but in the misbehaving project its reference was with processorArchitecture=MSIL

Stop debugging in Progress in visual studio 2015

I am using visual studio 2015. My solution was working properly but somehow it stopped working. Every time I am trying to run the solution it opens a pop-up and says stop debugging in progress.
there were few solutions on stack overflow regarding my problem but they were not helpfull to solve my problem so please help me.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
I just reset the Visual Studio setting and restart the system and now its working fine.
Tool > Import And Export Settings > Reset All Settings > No just Reset
Settings, overwriting my current settings > Genrel
Every now and then Visual Studio can get stuck or a bit buggy. First port of call when something like this happens to me and nothing has changed, I will shutdown Visual Studio and restart it to see if that cleared the problem.

Resharper suddenly gone from Visual studio 2013

I have Resharper 8.2 installed on my computer. I didn't shut down the computer from yesterday and Visual studio 2013 was kept open.
Yesterday, I had Resharper working fine and today, it's gone. I don't have the menu "Resharper" on the top and I don't have the tool at all.
So be it. I reinstalled Resharper from the exe file. Nothing.
I deleted Resharper, cleaned all the files and installed it once more. Nothing in VS 2013.
I also have Visual Studio 2010 and Resharper is here (I have the menu and the tools).
Am I the only one experiencing this "feature"? Does anyone know how to solve this?
I don't know what to try.

Debug Techniques: Visual Studio 2008 Process fatal crash after debug of WPF application

I have a relatively large C#/WPF Visual Studio 2008 solution that I am trying to test and synchronize across 2 developer's computers. On my computer, I am able to build and debug (run) the project successfully without errors.
On the second computer, I am able to build the solution without any errors. When I attempt to run the solution, Visual Studio starts the process but about 3 seconds later the entire development platform exits. Before it exits I briefly see one of our .xaml files opened by visual studio with a yellow 'unhandled exception' box pop-up on a certain line number. I'm currently contacting the part of my company who is responsible for implementing the functionality of that xaml file.
This raised a bigger issue in my mind: How can you troubleshoot an issue when Visual Studio is immediately exiting after attempting to run a program?
The Visual Studio 2008 crashes when starting to debug post may also be helpful. I'm trying those solutions now.
We found that executing the three following commands helped to fix our problem:
devenv.exe /ResetSettings
devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs
devenv.exe /Setup
This was suggested in another stackoverflow post here helped us to determine that it was a plugin, AccuRev's Visual Studio plugin, that was causing the issue.
The issue also appears to be a "known issue" with a hotfix from Microsoft, documented here.
VS2008 SP1: In Visual Studio 2008 SP1, having windows in non-default locations, for example after docking and undocking windows, when switching between debugging and designing or switching to/from full screen, can result in a crash of the Visual Studio IDE.
Thanks for your help!
Run devenv/debugexe to debug your exe. When an unhandled exception occurs, in the debug menu, select "save as dump", then visit http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio to open a bug report and attach the dump file after creating the report.
