How to disable Visual Studio 2010 auto restart on crash?

Visual Studio 2010 crashes on exit a lot for me. Often it decides to auto-restart, and if I miss the short time out to hit the cancel box it loads again.

Is t开发者_StackOverflow中文版here a registry key to disable this auto restart feature?

I don't know if there is a way to unregister an application specifically from (Windows's) Application Restart feature. You can try making error reporting ask you before checking for solutions, or just exclude devenv.exe from the error reporting. On Win7, you can find these options in the Control Panel, under System and Security -> Action Center -> Problem Reporting Settings.

Note that if you do exclude VS and don't send the Watson reports back, nobody on the VS team will ever see them and have a chance to fix them. We do investigate these reports regularly, so it's always helpful to send it in if you can.

I also had the "crash on exit" issue in VS2010 on XP. I solved it by installing the latest Windows Updates- there was nothing specific for VS, however I've not had a crash since.

I had reported this at Connect:

They said it's in the next version. I happened to test the SP1 Beta and noticed that it's fixed there, so this issue will be resolved soon when SP1 releases.
