Are you using an older version of Visual Assist on a new version of VS2019? If so, then I may know what is going on.
Then I know what is going wrong, and this is easy to fix, once you know how. The first step is to export your default profiles IDE settings, since the fix resets your current settings. This is done via:
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
Now you need to close all instances of the IDE and locate the directory where your default profile is stored. This will be:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_xxxxx
where xxxxx is a hash, so its machine specific. There should only be one directory matching this pattern.
If you look inside this directory you should see a file called "privateregistry.bin". You need to delete this file, which will be recreated next time you load the default profile. You will either get the default IDE settings or your online synced IDE settings, if you have enabled this option. So you may well want to import your exported IDE settings, to restore your preferred settings.
When you do so all of your installed extensions will still be installed, but they will be Disabled, so you need to go into the dialog:
IDE Extensions menu -> Manage Extensions
and Enable them. This will require an IDE restart to take effect.
At this point Visual Assist should be active and working normally. |
