I just installed visual assist.
We are using Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio 2010.
In Visual Studio 6.0 everything works ok.
Unfortunately Visual Studio 2010 does not load the files from the last session anymore. I can see them in the recent files, but they are not loaded automatically and if I load them, the position where I was working is lost.
This makes Visual Assist pretty useless for me, because usually I spent a lot of effort to find the files related to my problem and the positions in the files where they are handled.
Deleting the *.suo file won't help. Obviously Visual Assist changes something in their structure, that makes them unusable.

Visual Assist should not touch .sou files.

You mean, when you open a solution, the file tabs will not be opened automatically? Visual Assist should not change this behavior, the source file tabs should be opened and the last used file should be active after opening the solution. All tabs should remember the caret position.

Can you please try disabling Visual Assist using the extension manager, just temporarily, to see if it makes any difference?

Tools -> Options... -> Extension manager...

Do you use any other Visual Studio extension?

I just tried unchecking
"Enable access to extensions on the Visual Studio Gallery"
and it does not make a difference.
There are no file tabs opened on startup.
We have ankhSVN Subversion Support for Visual Studio installed.
By the way we had the same problem on another PC, too, and it did go away there after uninstalling Visual Assist and reinstalling Visual Studio, which was a considerable effort.

Sorry to hear this. It absolutely should not happen. I've never heard anything like this.

Is Visual Assist the only extension that you installed that time?
Is this the first time you installed Visual Assist on that machine, or was it an upgrade?
Can you please export your Visual Studio and Visual Assist settings and send them in?

1. VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
2. IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings

So I can import them here to see if I'm able to reproduce the problem.

I found out that this is a conflict with the ankhSVN Subversion extension of which I installed a new version about a week before the installation of Visual Assist.
Since I do not need that one really - I can check files in and out outside of studio - I removed it and now it works.

Thank you for the follow-up. It would be interesting to know if it's an ankhSVN problem or a compatibility issue between the latest ankhSVN and Visual Assist... I'll keep an eye on this.
I installed ankhSVN along Visual Assist but the problem didn't immediately occur. I didn't setup the extension though. It seems it needs more setup than just opening a solution that is under source control by SVN.
