Can't add new account VS 2017 Experimental Instance - visual-studio-2017

Anybody encountered this kind of scenario?
After I typed my password, it will load and repeat again the login process. I cannot add my account in Visual Studio 2017 Community.

I just solved this by clicking "Start Visual Studio to fix this issue" link and not the sign in or add account.
Hope this helps you out.

Can't open AVD manager in Visual Studio, internet connection error message

I am new to Xamarin and trying to set up a virtual device using the ADM (Android Device Manager) in Visual Studio 2017. When I click to open the ADM it looks like it's loading for a moment and then pops up the error message "Android SDK instance could not be loaded. Please check your internet connection."
I know that I am connected to the internet, I was even able to download and install packages in VS. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I'm guessing it's some sort of issue with VS not knowing where my SDK is installed. I also tried opening the SDK manager (tools >android >android sdk manager) and navigating to the folder to show Visual Studio where my SDK is installed but even that window won't load up properly so I can't set the path! It gives the error message "Loading SDK component information failed. Please Retry." I did retry but nothing changes.
I found a solution
In Visual Studio Go to Tools->Android->Android SDK Manager
When the SDK manager starts, go to the bottom right hand corner and click the button with a cog on it
Go to Repository and select Google (Unsupported)
I was then able to use the Android Device Manager and create a new device
You can change it back to the Microsoft (Supported) when complete
I am using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9.5
Is this due to capacity issues in Azure. I'm sure this worked with the current version of Visual Studio 2017 I have been using 15.9.5

VS Community 2017 - Creating a Website with Membership/User Login

I'm trying to build a very basic ASP.net (VB) site with login/members-only pages, using VS Community 2017.
I found this link and thought I was golden:
Walkthrough: Creating a Web Site with Membership and User Login
However, it's for VS 2010, and a major part of the process is using the "Security setup wizard" which doesn't seem to exist in 2017. Is there some equivalent, or directions for doing the same work in 2017?
Googling with combinations of "Visual Studio 2017" "user login" "membership" "user authentication" etc. has given me mostly results about the VS 2017 software needing a log in, but nothing very helpful about creating a website with login.

Why my Visual studio 2017 license will expire if I am already logged in?

I downloaded the free VS Community 2017 on my PC and today I get this message from VS saying that my license will expire today.
Whats happening? I signed in but the message still appears.
Have you tried signing out and in into your Microsoft account recently?

Why can't Team Explorer connect?

After having issues with VS2017 Enterprise memory leaks, but none with Team Explorer functionality, I've uninstalled and installed community edition.
tf settings connections shows I'm connected
tf vc checkin works just fine.
where tf shows it is running the 2017 TF.exe
removed my account from both the tfs section, and the vs sign-in in visual studio and added back.
going to the project in a browser at ____.visualstudio.com shows my login works just fine there too.
removed connection from team explorer manager and it no longer has any hosted repositories showing in the Connect to a Project dialog
devenv /resetuserdata as an administrator did not fix it
going in the visual studio baked-in web browser, it comes up as already logged in and shows the projects just fine.
I'm not behind a proxy
deleted project's .suo file
removed stored Microsoft account credentials from Windows 10 credential manager
tried opening vs stand-alone (not opening a project to open it) and connecting
What causes VS2017 to refuse to show VSTS projects?
I experienced the same behavior today with version 15.9.5.
I also tried other options like deleting the VS related folders in %LocalAppData%, etc. to no avail.
The solution is to remove your account from within Visual Studio by selecting 'Account Settings' from the drop-down after clicking your name in the upper-right. Now remove the VSTS account, restart Visual Studio, enter your VSTS credentials anew and voila.

Cannot create Win32 Console Application in VS 2013, Windows 8.1

Iam unable to create a new win32 console Application in VS 2013.
To create the console application I went to New Project-->chose win32 console application under visual c++-->changed the name of project and clicked OK.
But nothing happens and New Project dialog blinked and came back again.
I clicked OK again and again and It keeps coming back...
I googled and found nothing helpful.
I checked the logs and found nothing related to this.
Initially I was unable to create a new MVC application just after the installation of VS 2013, and I went through so many answers regarding it and couldn't solve the problem. At last I went to Extensions and Updates option under Tools and noticed that there were two nuget packages installed
1) Nuget Package Manager
2) Nuget Package manager for Visual studio with a blue icon
I uninstalled the second one and then the problem was solved.
Just now I noticed the problem with win32 console application.
Please help..
Thanks to Hans Passant
I started the vs_community.exe from command prompt with /Uninstall/force option.
After completing it I again started vs_community.exe with /Repair option.
That did the trick.
Now everything working perfectly for me.
