When I attempt to run a sketch (which runs properly in the Arduino IDE). As soon as the uploading message appears, VS freezes. I have to cancel it with Task .
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling your vix module to no avail.
When I compile & run a 15 project asp.net solution I'm maintaining in VS2019, it compiles & runs properly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Abbott

Hi

Some questions

What is the full version of vs2019 from help about? 15.x....

Is the tool bar set to Release or Debug? Setting to Release gives simplest test.

Please follow the guide above in the yellow box and Build but don't try to upload so we can see which board and usb drivers etc.

When you do try upload, the guide in the yellow box, will also show more clearly on-screen what is happening during the freeze.

Does pulling the usb cable after a freeze, unfreeze vs?

Hi,

Just updated my Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition with Visual Micro installed before the update. Now getting error saying plugin should be disbaled due to freezing - the ActivityLog.xml file shows :

The error in the activity log does not appear related to Visual Micro.

Not sure if this is related. We have a log that microsoft are looking into that causes a 5-8 second freeze first time vs runs after update or installing an extension. The freeze is in their code not ours but they report it as our extension.

After uninstalling rebooting reinstalling visualmicro ...also upgraded vs2019.- All is working well.
Not sure how it got screwed up
Thanks
