The vs 2013 is not getting open. It pops up with a message "Cannot run when setup is in progress". I didn't make any configuration change. Can somebody help me?

Visual Studio 2013 - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Learn. This browser is no longer supported. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
If you are running Windows 7, you can find the Visual Studio 2015 application at the top of the All Programs list grouped with other application icons. If you are running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 11, you can find the icon listed under the V grouping.
This just happened to me as well. I had three instances of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate open and when I tried to launch another as Admin, I got the same error, and still got the error after closing all instances and trying again.
I checked task manager and saw a process called "Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (KB30002339) (32 bit)". I previously had Visual Studio 2012 on the machine but I didn't think this would affect 2013 starting. However, after I killed that and tried starting VS 2013 as admin, it was working fine.

try rebooting your pc, after the reboot it'll still continue some setup. Wait for it to complete. Then launch it again!

To follow on from @FLGMwt's post, I was having the same issue. It seems it's quite common according to this article: Microsoft Ships New Botched Update: KB3002339 Failing to Install
I fixed this by first ending the task "Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (KB30002339) (32 bit)", then downloading the KB3002339 update from Microsoft and running it manually: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3002339/
Finally, I checked for Windows Updates and this one was no longer showing. Visual Studio now starts without issue.
You could skip manually installing the update by ignoring it in Windows Update.
