Visual Studio 2012 and Program Compatibility Assistant

I have been successfully using VS2012 on Win7-x64 for months now. Today after restarting my machine launching VS2012 brings up this compatibility dialog:

Clicking "Check for solutions Online" has no effect. I could run the program with "Run Program" but then VS2012 is not stable and I cannot run our custom development and source-control plugins.

Did anyone else ran into this issue with VS2012 or any ideas? Appreciate your help.

Best, Sarang

How do I check if a program is compatible?

In the search box on the taskbar, type the name of the program or app you want to troubleshoot. Select and hold (or right-click) it, and then select Open file location. Select and hold (or right-click) the program file, select Properties, and then select the Compatibility tab. Select Run compatibility troubleshooter.
