    Why is there a .vs folder always appearing on desktop whenever I open Visual Studio?


    Whenever I open visual studio, there is a .vs folder created on the desktop, I know why that folder exists but I don't know why it's always always created on the desktop instead of anywhere else.I also tried completely uninstalling visual studio and then downloading it again, but it never completely uninstalls and manages to remember a few things.

    :)

    "Open in visual studio" set as default for opening folders

    Hello,

    So recently I don't know why visual studio is being opened whenever i open a folder, In order for me to open a folder i have to right click and open in a new window.

    when I right click the topmost opetion and the option in bold is "Open in Visual Studio"..

    Is there a way I can fix this without having to uninstall VS ?

    Many thanks

    Do you still have the Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager still installed?

    If you have it still installed and it opens up correctly, you could try removing all additional packages that are installed, and try reinstalling them again. It could have been a corruption issue relating to package extensions that you may have installed
    into Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. If that does not work, go to apps in settings, and select Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and select repair. If that does not work, you could try going to TechNet, and asking there for help. It could be a
    bug with the current version of the .NET Framework 48 or with the recent version of Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

    If you can not find Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager, unfortunately in this situation the only thing I can think of is if you still have the installation file that you downloaded from the Visual Studio website. If you can't find that, then
    I suggest that you download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, since the 2017 Community edition is not given for free anymore unless you have some sort of subscription. However, I suggest that you still check with TechNet before taking this step.
