I am having a problem with Visual Studio 2010 as of late that I can't figure out. Lately after having VS2010 open for an extended period of time, building begins to fail without error. This includes build, rebuild, and clean.
The output from VS2010 is only two lines:
When trying build:
1>------ Build started: Project: example, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
When trying rebuild:
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: example, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
When trying clean:
1>------ Clean started: Project: example, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
========== Clean: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
The only way I can resume using VS to build the project(s) is to restart my system. However, using msbuild from the commandline builds the project(s) without issue. So this appears to be related to VS itself but I can't figure out whats causing it with no actual error being displayed.
I have tried restarting VS itself, deleting .suo, .ncb, precompiled headers, etc. to see if it is a file lock issue which did not help or fix the problem. There are no stray processes running from a previous build when this starts happening either.
Edit --8<------------------------------------------
Just for some added information:
I have reinstalled VS2010 twice to try to correct this.
I have reinstalled VS2010 SP1 twice along with that.
This only happens with VS after an extended period of time.
It seems to occur when modifying a header (C++) file for a long time.
After it happens I can still build from the command line fine just not from VS until I restart the system.
If it started suddenly, keeps happening, and happens on different projects, try testing your RAM. You can download an ISO for memtest86, burn, and boot to it.
I know this is old but try rebuilding and cleaning solution if this happens to you again. It helped me.
A bit late to respond to this but I never did figure out what caused this issue to happen. I landed up reformatting shortly after I posted this question. Thanks all who tried to help though.

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2022. Now I have a similar problem with Visual studio 2013 "A task was cancelled".
A few moments ago, everything went alright. However I suddenly found that when I try to build my cpp project, VS only output
1>----— Build started: Project: MyConsoleApp, Configuration: Release x64 —----
After about 5 minutes, it becomes
1>----— Build started: Project: MyConsoleApp, Configuration: Release x64 —----
1>A task was canceled.
1>A task was canceled.
========= Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
All my cpp projects have the same problem now. My time zone is correct. I have tried to reopen VS, restart my computer and reinstall Visual Studio, but this problem still exists.
I have the same problem as you, since February 28th, VS2022 could not build any project, until today, I uninstalled the anti-virus software (360 Security Guard) installed on my computer, it returned to normal work, I think this is due to the anti-virus software update caused by the incompatible VS2022, You can try uninstalling the anti-virus software installed on your computer, which may solve the problem
I'm using VS2017 write C++ projects. After some version update, it cannot auto detect source file changes. The Build(F7) command always report something like:
1>------ Up-To-Date check: Project: hello, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>All outputs are up-to-date.
1>Time Elapsed 3 ms
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Although I can use Rebuild to get things work, it could be quite slow for some large projects. Are there any idea about this problem, or about how the build process check whether sources are out-dated?
Thanks.
I'm trying to build a brand new c++ console project in Visual Studio 2015 Community and getting the following output:
1>------ Build started: Project: ConsoleApplication3, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>A task was canceled.
1>A task was canceled.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
From this question it looks like the same problem. but the time has been recently synced:
And restarting Visual Studio doesn't change the build output. I've tried uninstalling Visual Studio and then reinstalling it, but the outcome is the same.
Delete Debug/Release folders and restart MSVC.
I am trying to create a new c++ cli project in visual studio 2010.
After i create the new project, i try to build it, and get "build failed" message, with no errors, or other description of what went wrong
1>------ Build started: Project: TestProject3, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I am working on windows 7, 64 bit.
This is happening also if i try to create the project with another template (like win32 console application).
I tried to create the project under "c:\Test", to make sure that the problem is not with the folder's path, or write permissions.
This solution also contains a c# project, that is working with no problems.
Does anyone know this problem? do i need to change something in the project properties?
Thanks in advance :)

Did you include any source files to be built? It would seem natural that compilation fails without any errors only when there are no source files (included for build) or they are empty, perhaps.
Normally, when I use Visual Studio to do a build, I see warnings and errors shown in the output pane, e.g.
1>------ Build started: Project: pdcuda, Configuration: Release x64 ------
Compiling...
foo.cpp
Linking...
foo.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "foo"
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I'm doing some GPU programming with CUDA. Upon upgrading to 2.1, I no longer get any useful output in Visual Studio. For example, all I now see is:
1>------ Build started: Project: pdcuda, Configuration: Release x64 ------
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
The other details can be found in BuildLog.htm, but it's inconvenient to hunt that file down all the time.
Does anyone know how to force Visual Studio to show the output in its output pane?
Things that don't help:
uninstalling CUDA: the problem persists in all projects
Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Build and Run > MSBuild project build output verbosity: changing this pulldown, even to "Diagnostic" has no discernable effect.
EDIT: Additional things that don't help:
devenv.exe /resetsettings
devenv.exe /resetuserdata
UPDATE (in response to Die in Sente): It's now working on one of the two machines (I'm not sure what I did to fix it though). The machine that's still having problems has a CUDA Visual Studio Wizard installed that has caused similar problems before. The still-broken machine had version 15.00.21022.8 of the compiler. The working machine has 15.00.30729.1. After making a backup, I transferred "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\amd64" from the working to the broken machine. I observe no changes in behavior on the broken machine.
I have exactly the same problem, but without CUDA. Today Visual Studio just decided it wasn't going to show any build messages anymore. It was working fine, then one of my builds it just stopped working. The problem persists over all my projects now, and persists over reboots. I also see the correct messages in buildlog.htm. This is ridonkulous!
EDIT: Ooh, I used the add/remove programs to do a repair, and now it works again! Yeah!
did you tried to reset IDE
devenv.exe /resetsettings
or
devenv.exe /resetuserdata
I also recently install CUDA 2.1 (on top of 2.0 I believe). The default installation for CUDA 2.1 moved the SDK from
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA CUDA SDK\
to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NVIDIA Corportation\NVIDIA CUDA SDK\
which initially caused me some problems. Are all of your paths resolving correctly?
This might sound like a far out suggestion. Get the CUDA SDK and try your code with the sample CUDA-C++ project in there. Maybe something changed in the build rules for CUDA v2.1.
If you go to Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run. Last property is "MSBuild Project build output verbosity". It defaults to Minimal, change it to normal and the build messages will show up in Output window.
This also enables any <Message Text="test message"></Message> output to show up in Visual Studio Build Output Window.
Final solution: reinstall the OS.
