I installed VS Community 2015 and ran simple C++ code to check if everything is working, but it didn't succeded. VS crashes and does nothing, but process of ran C++ program has still its process working and I can't stop it in Task Manager. What might be the reason of that?

2@RichardHodges: It's not a Microsoft problem, Avast has been causing the same issue for gcc users. – Blastfurnace Dec 21 '15 at 11:54

*the ususal fix is to reinstall windows, reinstall visual studio, reboot, apply updates and reboot again.* you're doing it very wrong if that is your *usual* fix :] – stijn Dec 21 '15 at 12:09

it failed to install on my machine 4 times - with no antivirus at all. I'm looking for the stackoverflow article that helped me to finally get it working. It involved lots of registry manipulation and file permission changes. – Richard Hodges Dec 21 '15 at 12:42

@stijn my usual fix is to work on a real working operating system rather than the windows toybox. Occasionally though, I am forced to develop on windows because of misguided customer requirements. These projects invariably take twice as long to develop - all of the extra time is taken in installing software correctly. It saps my will to live... – Richard Hodges Dec 21 '15 at 12:49
