I've installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I'm trying to create a c++ OpenGL project, however, it always freezes when I'm debugging(ctrl + f5). I've tried to write a simple program that prints text to the screen and it still freezes. The build completes successfully, projects in C# don't freeze as well. When I'm trying to run the cpp project VS freezes completely and I have to kill the process, running the .exe directly freezes the explorer..
I haven't found any solution to that kind of problem in the web, and I was hoping that someone here will know what to do..
Thanks :)
Try setting a breakpoint on the very first line of your main, click on debug and see if it gets to the breakpoint. If it does, try stepping through until you see what is causing your freeze.
I had exactly the same problem as you. Turns out my Avast anti-virus was causing the issue. I disabled it and now it's working.
I found the answer from this question:
Visual Studio 2015 freezes when finished building

I created a simple program for training purposes in Visual Studio Community Edition 2017 and I'm not having an issue running the program itself but it is showing me the file address for the process its running in the middle of the code in the Debug Console. I'm not sure how to disable this from showing.
I've tried searching Google but honestly I'm not sure how to easily phrase my question so no results really helped.
The program runs perfectly fine with no errors. This is a visual issue
Highlighted area is what I want to get rid of.
You can do it with:
Tools->Options->Debugging->Automatically close the console
Here is a corresponding fragment from the Visual Studio documentation:
Automatically close the console when debugging stops:
Tells Visual Studio to close the console at the end of a debugging session.
I'm using visual studio 2013 express. I have a program that uses recursion, after multiple edits and compiles. The compiler now compiles the program without error but the program does not run in foreground, instead 3 instances of same program run in the background. Task manager cannot stop the programs and i can no longer click and edit on visual studio(but is still responsive according to task manager). This code works on other systems.I have tried repairing visual studio, deleting debug folder, restarting my PC.
image showing build succeeded and 3 instances of program:
You might have missed to use the linker flag SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE. MSDN link
I tried repairing the installation and reinstalling everything from scratch but nothing seems to fix this problem. This problem also exists when I try to create a Win32 Application in Visual C++ as well as Visual Studio 2013.
Clicking finish and cancel seem to do nothing while the only button that works is the red X on the top right hand corner.

I have heard good things about this IDE but I can't seem to create a new project. Please help!
I've a C++ project in Visual Studio 2012 Express, and I started having problems lately. When I compile the project it works, nothing wrong, however when I try to execute it the .exe disappears. I mean, I compile the project, the project generates the exe file with no problems, but if I try to execute it from Visual Studio or directly from the output directory, Windows say to me:
Cannot start the program 'C:\Users\Adrian\Dropbox\MyApp\Debug\MyApp.exe'.
The system can not find the file specified
If I create another project, Hello World for example, there is no problem and the exe generates and executes good. So I guess the problem is specific to my project. I tried disabling Avast (because maybe he delete the file) and the problem persists.
Also I create another project, including the files and... the problem is still here...
I check the project options, specifically general and debug options and I see nothing wrong.
So does anyone have an idea what may be wrong?
The output directory is $(SolutionDir)$(Configuration)\ and I'm compiling in Debug mode.
The windows error message is misleading. It should state that, loading a library (dll) failed. You might run the program with a process monitor (see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx)
could you tell me why this happens when I simply press F5 in order to start debugging? VS is freshly installed and can't run hello world program :(
I checked for c# console application and that module works, only problem is when choosing C++

First, i would recommend to Clean the project and choose Rebuild.
If the problem is still there, you need to check the exe location, and try to execute it manually.
I would say that the error is likely to come from some changes you did (project configuration) that require you to clean the solution, but it is just a mere guess.
