  • after searching a lot, the only solution to this problem is to create a new user account and use visual studio with this account. It will then work perfectly fine. – user3835383 Aug 22 '14 at 16:14

The below answer solve my problem :
- Navigate to devenv.exe by right clicking Visual Studio from start, click properties, and select "Open File Location...".
- Right click on devenv.exe and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility".
- Click "Troubleshoot Program"
- Check "The program opens but doesn't display correctly"
- Click "Next"
- Click "Test the program"
- Confirm everything opens correctly
- Click "Next"
- Click "Yes, save these settings for this program"

Deleting below registry key resolved issue for me

  1. run regedit command
  2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
  3. Delete the Visual Studio entry
