I have problem with my Visual studio 2013. When I'm trying to create even a simple console application,VS hangs and after a while the message 'Visual studio is busy: Microsoft Visual studio is waiting for internal operation to complete.' shows up.

I have reinstalled Visual Studio but without any luck. I've used ProcMon to check devenv and all the paths it shows, have to do with Android Studio.

  • This does not appear to be a programming problem (assuming you did not *write* VS 2013). Perhaps better asked on [Super User](http://superuser.com). – Jongware May 27 '15 at 21:51

    I've seen similar questions on this site but not with the answer to my specific problem so I figured it was OK to ask here – user3182261 May 27 '15 at 21:53
  • Try disabling the Android Studio add-in. Generally, when Visual Studio is misbehaving, it's usually best to disable Extensions/Add-ins one by one until you find the culprit. – C-Pound Guru May 27 '15 at 21:56

    True: [help/on-topic] says ".. software tools commonly used by programmers" – but I suspect it's Just Your System, and if the same happens with other software as well, Super User users may have a solution or hints for you. – Jongware May 27 '15 at 21:56
  • @C-PoundGuru There doesn't seem to be an Android Studio add-in. The Add-in manager is completely empty – user3182261 May 27 '15 at 22:01

I 'solved' the problem by accident. I disabled Source Control and for some reason, VS started working again. I know it's not an ideal solution but works just fine when you need VS urgently.

Don't know if Visual Studio is one of those programs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe even after uninstalling, Visual Studio keeps some files in the registry from your previous installation and the AppData folder. You might want to clear those.

  • Close Visual Studio (if you haven’t already).
  • Open the registry editor (regedit.exe)
  • Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio{version}
  • Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio{version}_Config
  • Delete the %USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio{version} directory.
Use {version}=10.0 for Visual Studio 2010
Use {version}=11.0 for Visual Studio 2012
Use {version}=12.0 for Visual Studio 2013

Hope this helps
