How do I revert to a previous version of Visual Studio?

The original commit is still in the Git history. To do the same in Visual Studio, right-click the commit you want to revert and then select Revert.

Can you downgrade Visual Studio Enterprise to community?

It is not possible to downgrade an installation, as they are different products and can exist side by side. The components downloaded and installed for each product are different.

Can I upgrade vs2017 to vs2019?

Answers. No. Visual Studio 2019 is on a different release channel to Visual Studio 2017, this allows for both IDEs to be installed side by side. This means that you cannot convert a 2017 install into a 2019 install.

A direct downgrade is not possible, but a specific version can be installed.

  1. Uninstall Visual Studio 2017 using the Visual Studio Installer.

  2. Download the Visual Studio 2017 version 15.0 RTW installer from https://my.visualstudio.com. For more information on how to do this, refer to the older downloads page

  3. Run the installer to install Visual Studio 2017, version 15.0.
