Pounding on the update button in this screenshot does nothing. Nothing is downloaded, installed, etc. No message, nothing at all! Clicking "Release Notes" and "More Information" also does nothing.
Searching for this update yields nothing useful, too. What ever shall I do?
To open the Manage Extensions dialog, choose Extensions > Manage Extensions. Or, type Extensions in the search box and choose Manage Extensions. The pane on the left categorizes extensions by those that are installed, those available on Visual Studio Marketplace (Online), and those that have updates available.
Extensions are add-ons that allow you to customize and enhance your experience in Visual Studio by adding new features or integrating existing tools. An extension can range in all levels of complexity, but its main purpose is to increase your productivity and cater to your workflow.
Is Google Chrome your default browser by chance? I see the same behavior in that case, but not when IE or Firefox is. What Wade suggested earlier is precisely the file that pressing that button would have downloaded for you.
I have the same issue in Visual Studio 2012. Although I don't know how to solve this specific problem, I was able to find and apply the update from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30687. Once installed VS no longer lists the update.
