I'm using visual studio 2013. The company I work for has changed domain names (eg from abc.com to ayebecee.com) which obviously means that a new login profile has to be created etc. Now I started up visual studio but all the addons I installed and settings are 'gone'. Basically I need to know where the settings and addons are stored so that I can copy them to my new windows profile.
Depending on your platform, the user settings file is located here: Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings. json. macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.
For instance, Visual Studio Code has a "preferences" submenu in its file menu, whereas Visual Studio has most of its options available under "Tools->Options".
To change your development settings after you open Visual Studio for the first time, follow these steps: Select Tools > Import and Export Settings from the menu bar to open the Import and Export Settings Wizard. In the Import and Export Settings Wizard, select Reset all settings, and then select Next.
**Update for latest version**
Visual Studio 2015:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2015
Visual Studio 2017:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2017
Also have a look at these folders:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\... %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\...
