I’ve been running Visual Studio 2010 (the official release) for some time now. Lately, VS will crash 10+ times during my 8 hour work day. In VS2008, crashes were common when working with large Xaml files, and while I experience some of that with VS2010, crashes occur when debugging, starting the debugger, stopping the debugger, and other random times when editing code.

I’ve looked through the problem reports, and the one I’ve found that occurs most frequently is:

Description

Faulting Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

Problem signature

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

Application Name: devenv.exe

Application Version: 10.0.30319.1

Application Timestamp: 4ba1fab3

Fault Module Version: 6.1.7600.16385

Fault Module Timestamp: 4a5bdb3b

Exception Code: c0000005

Exception Offset: 0002e23e

I’m running Windows 7 (x64). Hoepfully someone has come across this problem and has found a solution. I plan on reinstalling VS2010. Hopefully that takes care of the problem.

    Do you think you have installed any extra Extensions which might lead to frequent crashes?

    You can try

    Devenv.exe /SafeMode

    to start in Safe mode. You can also try

    Devenv.exe /Log

    Which will log all activity. Have not tried this so don’t know What activities are logged.
