Crash after Upload, VS hang or crashed, use terminate Task

Am I the only one having problems with VM and VS 2022 and VS2026?

VM 2026.422.2202

The serial monitor/port is completely malfunctioning and causing program crashes since the latest VS updates.

VM fixed it once, but now it's back to the way it was before the fix...

Working like this is impossible!  Embarrassed Embarrassed Embarrassed

Thanks for the report, and we are working on these issues currently (though we are struggling to reproduce them locally).

Please attach a verbose build log so we can be sure which serial monitor tools are in use, and if you find there are certain actions or situations this happens in (e.g. toggling RTS/DTR or a large amount of serial data) please let us know.

Also please attach the info from Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio from your affected versions.

If possible can you try the below tests to help us understand which changes could be affecting this:

1) Use Old Serial Monitor
This can be done by Uninstalling Visual Micro from Extension Manager, then manually installing the below version (2026.0223.01):

2) Use Synchronous vMicro
This can be done by Uninstalling Visual Micro from Extension Manager, then manually installing the below version (2025.0721.08):

Ich kann momentan nicht helfen den Fehler zu lokalisieren, zumal ich das ja bereits schon gemacht  hatte und es nichts gebracht hat. 
Ehrlich gesagt ist es mir verleidet und ich bin auf ide2 abgestiegen, da VS2022/2026 nicht brauchbar ist wegen den andauernden Hänger und Blockierungen. Ich hätte das update  gar nicht machen sollen, nur schade ums Geld.  Angry
Anscheinend bin ich der Einzige der das Problem hat.
Und bock habe ich auch  nicht auf alte Software  umzusteigen ich habe schliesslich für eine neue Software Bezahlt aber  der Fehler ist nun so lange her und ist immer noch, da fragt sich doch  der eine  oder andere... ist das Produkt tot?!  Smiley

Freundliche Grüsse

I used the simply original Arduino UNO 3.x  at this time.


I can't help locate the error right now, especially since I've already tried that and it didn't help.

Honestly, I'm fed up and have downgraded to IDE2, since VS2022/2026 is unusable due to the constant freezes and crashes. I shouldn't have updated at all; it's just a waste of money. Sad
Apparently, I'm the only one with this problem.
And I'm not keen on switching back to old software. After all, I paid for new software, but the error has been around for so long and is still there. It makes you wonder... is the product dead?!  Smiley
Regards

Hello,

The issue back in 2018 was resolved. More recently we updated to use "board vendor" supplied serial.

Can you confirm if the issue happens in release more (without the serial debugger)

A build output (as file) will also help because now the serial is board/vendor specific.

Thanks

Good day.

This has nothing to do with 2018.

I've only had this problem since I started using 2022 and 2026 (both installed). (I haven't migrated everything from 2022 to 2026 yet.)

I installed VS ...21 as well as the corrected version ...22 that you sent, which stopped working after the latest VS update. After reinstalling VS ...21, the problem was somewhat less severe. ...22 isn't official, as far as I can tell.

It's not the picture, but the RTS and DTS signals. For example, if RTS is disabled (on the UNO), it almost never occurs.

I think your error is still causing you problems. Something is definitely wrong with the Serial Monitor. From what I've seen, strange characters sometimes appear, like you'd expect from ESP, but I've never seen that on the UNO before, although it does appear occasionally. I can't help any further, and it's incredibly frustrating. It's like an endless loop, and nobody seems to care. Everyone working with it apparently doesn't have a problem or isn't bothered by it... I don't understand it. This isn't directed at you or VS, but it's truly unbearable. That's why I'm now using IDE2.

Kind regards

Ah, I got confused with the dates in this thread. 

Thanks that is useful info. We need to see the build output requested in yellow at the top of this page.

I can't see as an attachment with that info in this thread. Did you email it?

It is important because it also provides usb, debug settings and other useful info. Not just build.

and yes, you should not need to downgrade or use different versions.

Thanks

I cannot send build information if the program is blocked; I no longer have access to it and cannot save it.

I think I've found the culprit:

- Load Project
- Open Monitor Arduino UNO
- Click «Auto Scroll» off on Monitor
- Recompile and Upload Project
- VS R.I.P

regards

Thankyou for this detailed information and we can reproduce this crash now and will urgently work on the fix.

Ill update as soon as we have a build available to try.
