Visual Studio: Reset All Settings

Visual Studio: Reset All Settings

November 7, 2019 by Mitch Bartlett 7 Comments

If your Microsoft Visual Studio settings are all messed up and you want to reset all of them to default settings, use these steps.

1. From within Visual Studio, select the “Tools” menu, then choose “Import and Export Settings…“.

2. Select “Reset all settings“, then select “Next“.

3. If you wish to save your existing settings, select “Yes, save my current settings“. Otherwise select “No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings“. Select “Next” once you have chosen.

4. Choose the default collection of settings you wish to reset to. In most cases, you’ll want to choose “General“. Select “Finish” once you have chosen, and you’re done!

    This DID NOT reset them to the default view that the original install of VS 2022 had. Irritating as a minimum. So do I have to uninstall the whole damn program to fix this?

    If the menu were Import, Export or Reset Settings… I wold not have to google for it. I love VS, but I hate some things that only Microsoft does. Or don’t do.
