Visual Studio introduced a blocking Start Window
instead of a non-blocking Start Page
.
Considering how extensible Visual Studio is, is there a way to have VS2019 display a non-blocking Start Page
.
The new Start Window
is quite annoying, less informative, displays all projects, not just solutions, pinning is not up to previous standards, and no additional information. Most annoying is the blocking aspect.
I am thinking that there is some sort of extension or setting that Microsoft has somewhere, which can re-enable the Start Page
and disable the Start Window
.
Alternatively if it is not possible, is it possible to just disable the start window
and have the main application appear, when the app starts or when a user closes a solution/project?
-- Another hope with this post is that Microsoft sees this request and maybe modifies their code and offers users an option at the start, much like color theme and default code set, as to whether they want app blocking or app non-blocking for the start area.
For Visual Studio 2017 Pro: Right-click your Project (directly below the Solution entry) in the Solution Explorer. Select Properties. Click the Web tab. Select the appropriate Start Action.
Right click on the web page you want to use as the default page and choose "Set as Start Page" whenever you run the web application from Visual Studio, it will open the selected page.
Go to the 'Help' tab in the top menu and then select 'Welcome'. Look at the bottom of the page and click the checkbox below that says 'Show welcome page on startup'.
In Tools > Options > Environment > Startup > On startup, open: select "Empty environment".
Visual Studio will start without showing the modal Start Window.
Start Page on startup extension restores the traditional Start Page in VS 2019.
Start Page: Please give it back! and Make the Visual Studio 2019 start window non-modal are open issues concerning your other points.
