Subject: VS2017 start page
Folks, after upgrading to Visual Studio 2017 last weekend many weird things
went haywire, of which most are fixed by one bumbling means or another. The
weirdest thing by far was the Consolas normal font disappearing, which caused
all my DOS prompts and the VS edit and output windows to show italic. I had to
copy the missing font over from a Win10 VM. Another trap was the default
"lightweight" solution load, which came out of nowhere and I didn't even notice
it for hours. It caused VS2017 to randomly crash or stall during solution load
and close. Once I turned it globally off the problems vanished.
My last remaining problem is running any
ASP.NET<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2FASP.NET=02%7C01%7Cdavid.kean%40microsoft.com%7C11950d4981a04ff4cbd108d4def6fd4b%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636378599808161252=9pm4YDR7XNZ9aksWa5nD5B3WxweI8eMmL%2FLH7ziIODA%3D=0>
or WebApi project from inside VS2017 tells me the start page is not found. It
doesn't matter if it's in debug or release, local or express IIS, elevated or
not, or what the start page file type is, I just get this popup (example):
[Inline images 1]
The project then seems to keep running, but with no start page UI.
The same page and url runs normally in all other ways, just not in VS2017. It's
not permissions. I'm out of ideas. Anyone seen this?
