Visual Studio 2012 is not repainting the screen when an exception is raised: enter image description here

My normal environment looks like this: enter image description here

It doesn't seem to matter whether VS is set to use hardware acceleration or not, or to show the rich client experience or not.

I'm running on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-bit; VS 2012 Update 2.

Graphics: NVIDIA GeoForce GT 220.

UPDATE

I selected Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings, and the problem was resolved.

UPDATE 2

The issue has returned.

UPDATE 3

I've since upgraded to Windows 8.1, and have not experienced the issue since.

Such issues are often caused by old graphic card drivers. Try to update them. If you still have issues, go into the VS2012 options and disable the hardware acceleration.

  • 1) Windows reports that the drivers (v 311.06) are up to date. 2) As I mentioned in the comments, the issue still arises after disabling hardware acceleration, nor does it help to disable hardware acceleration once the problem is there.

  • latest driver is 320.18. Try this driver: nvidia.com/object/… Jun 24, 2013 at 17:09

I had a quick look at the "Extensions" running in VS2012, and tried disabling/uninstalling them. HDInsightTools for Azure uninstalled and works great now. Might be worth checking your extensions?

  • I've never used that particular extension.

  • It could be any one of the extensions. A good way to check is to start VS in safe mode without extensions. If it works fine then it probably is an extension.
