My Visual Studio 2015 (RTM) keeps resetting some of my tweaks each time I reopen it (for example Automatic brace completion).

I'm running it in administrator mode and tried devenv /resetsettings and reinstalling but that did not help.

Any ideas how to fix this will be appreciated.

  • What sort of environment are you working in? Is this a work computer or your personal one? – kingfrito_5005 Aug 18 '15 at 13:17

    Visual Studio 2013 introduced synchronising settings across multiple machines, see menu => **Tools** => **Options** => **Environment** => **Synchronising Settings**. Might settings on another computer be taking precedence? – AdrianHHH Aug 18 '15 at 13:37
  • @kingfrito_5005 It is a work computer, but i'm using local admin account. – Penko Aug 18 '15 at 14:18
  • @AdrianHHH I tried that and nothing changed. So far the settings that keep switching to defaults are: Automatic brace completion Keyboard shortcuts Find in files also insists it will search in *.cs – Penko Aug 18 '15 at 14:22

This has been fixed in KB3165756 and the update instructions are found on the same page.

    The KB says this is fixed in VS2015 Update 3. I've got Update 3, and my custom settings get wiped quite frequently. Maybe it's the Windows 10 update problem, or maybe not. I'm so sick of this crap. – Stephen Hosking Feb 02 '17 at 00:03
  • Bookmarks, Breakpoints, Tools-Options getting reset. This update too didn't help. – Altaf Patel Apr 10 '17 at 10:27
  • Same here. I have the update 3 installed, that KB is installed, and my settings keep getting wiped. Windows 8.1 here. So annoying. – Sam Jul 14 '17 at 12:59
