Install or Uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint (SSRS)

  • 12 contributors

Run the installation package Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint products (rsSharePoint.msi) on SharePoint servers to enable Reporting Services features within a SharePoint deployment. Features include Power View, a Report Viewer Web Part, a URL proxy endpoint, Reporting Services content types and application pages so that you can create, view, and manage reports, data sources and other report server content on a SharePoint site. The Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint products is a required component for a report server that runs in SharePoint mode. The add-in can be installed from either the SQL Server 2016 setup wizard or by downloading the rsSharePoint.msi from the SQL Server 2016 feature pack. For a list of the versions of the add-in and download pages, see Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products .

Reporting Services integration with SharePoint is no longer available after SQL Server 2016. Power View support is no longer available after SQL Server 2017.

Prerequisites

Installing the Reporting Services Add-in is one of several steps that are necessary for integrating a report server with an instance of a SharePoint product. For more information on installing and configuring Reporting Services, see Install the first Report Server in SharePoint mode .

If you're integrating Reporting Services with a SharePoint farm that has multiple Web front end applications, install the add-in to each computer in the farm that has a Web server front-end. Do this only for Web front ends that will be used to access report server content.

To install the Reporting Services Add-in, you must be an administrator on the computer. For example if you're going to run the rsSharePoint.msi at the command prompt, you should open the command prompt with administrator privileges by using the Run as administrator option.

To install the Reporting Services Add-in, you must be a member of the SharePoint Farm Administrators group.

You must be a Site Collection administrator to activate the Reporting Services integration feature.

What Does The Add-in Install?

The add-in setup process is composed of two phases, both are completed automatically when you complete a standard installation:

The first phase is to install files to the proper folders. The folders are standard for SharePoint deployments. One of the files that is installed is rsCustomAction.exe.

The second portion of the installation is to run a set of custom actions to register the Reporting Services files with SharePoint. The custom actions are run from rsCustomAction.exe. The exe is removed when the full two phase installation completes. You can run a files only installation and rsCustomAction.exe isn't run at the end of installation and it is left on the drive.

The Reporting Services Installation order

The add-in can be installed before installing SharePoint or after SharePoint installation. The add-in follows SharePoint pre-deployment standards and installs files in locations used by the SharePoint installation.

The advantage of installing the add-in prior to the SharePoint product is that as new servers are added to the farm, the Reporting Services Add-in will be configured and activated by the SharePoint farm.

Overview of the Installation Methods

The SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint products can be installed using one of the following two methods:

note

rsSharepoint.msi: The add-in can be installed directly from the installation media or downloaded and installed. The rsSharepoint.msi supports both a graphical user interface and a command line installation. You must run the .msi with administrator privileges by first opening a command prompt with elevated permissions, and then running the rsSharepoint.msi from the command line. For more information on downloading the add-in, see Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products .

If you use the /q switch for a silent command line installation, the end-user license agreement won't be displayed. Regardless of the installation method, the use of this software is governed by a license agreement and you're responsible for complying with the license agreement.

Install the add-in using the installation file rsSharePoint.msi

This section is related to installing the rssharepoint.msi directly, by either running the .msi installation wizard or a command line installation. If you installed the add-in using the SQL Server installation Wizard, you do not need to follow these steps.

You can see a full list of command line switches by running the following command:

Download the Setup program ( rsSharepoint.msi ) for the Reporting Services Add-in. For more information on downloading the add-in, see Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products .

As an administrator, run rsSharepoint.msi to run the Installation Wizard. The wizard displays a Welcome page, the Software license terms, and a registration information page. Setup creates folders under the following path and copies files to the folders:

%program files%\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ (SharePoint 2013)

%program files%\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ (SharePoint 2016)

Configure the report server settings and feature activation in SharePoint Central Administration. For more information on installing and configuring Reporting Services SharePoint mode, see Install the first Report Server in SharePoint mode .

Files-only installation

To install the files but skip the custom action phase of installation, run the rssharepoint.msi from the command line with the SKIPCA option.

Open a command prompt with administrator permissions .

Run the following command:

The installation user interface will open and run as normal and the rsCustomAction.exe file is installed. However, the .exe won't run at the end of the installation and rsCustomAction.exe will remain on the computer when the installation is completed.

Use a Two-Step Installation to Troubleshoot Installation Issues

If you get errors during installation, you can run Setup as a two-step process from the command line:

Open a command prompt with administrator permissions and run a files only installation as described in the previous section.

Run the custom actions executable:

Navigate to the folder that contains the file rsCustomAction.exe . This file is copied to your computer by the files only installation of the add-in. rsCustomAction.exe is located in the %Temp% directory. To navigate to the file, type the following from the command prompt:

CD %temp% .

The file should be located in: \Users\<your name>\AppData\Local\Temp

Type the following command. This configuration step will take several minutes to finish. The W3SVC service will be restarted during this process. Several Status messages will be displayed as the program copies files, registers components, and runs the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard.

The amount of time it takes for the changes to take effect may vary, depending on your server environment. You can also run iisreset to force a quicker update.

Quiet installation for scripting

You can use the /q or /quiet switches for a "quiet" installation that won't display any dialogs or warnings. The quiet installation is useful if you want to script the installation of the add-in.

To perform a quiet installation:

How to Remove the Reporting Services Add-in

You can uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products from Microsoft Windows control panel or the command line.

Using control panel will run a complete uninstall of the files on the current computer AND it will remove the Reporting Services object and features from the SharePoint farm. When the Reporting Services object and features are removed you can no longer review and update reports.

The command line method to uninstall the add-in allows you to use the LocalOnly parameter to only remove the add-in files from the local computer and the Reporting Services object and features in the farm won't be changed.

Uninstalling the add-in will remove server integration features that are used to process reports on a report server. It will also remove the Reporting Services pages from SharePoint Central Administration and other custom Reporting Services pages. You may also want to remove any reports and other report server items that you no longer use on the affected SharePoint sites. They won't run after the Reporting Services Add-in is removed.

To uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in, you must have a SharePoint installation still running. If you uninstall SharePoint first, you must reinstall it to uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in.

The steps for uninstalling the add-in are the same for both stand-alone servers and server farms. Setup will remove program files and any configuration settings that were added during installation.

Uninstalling the add-in won't remove the following:

Logins created for the Report Server service account that is used to access the SharePoint configuration and content databases. You must delete any logins for the Report Server service account from the SQL Server Database Engine instance used to host the SharePoint databases.

Permissions or groups that you created for report users. If you created custom permission levels or SharePoint groups to grant access to report server features, you should revoke any permissions that are no longer required.

Data files that you uploaded to a SharePoint library, including report definition (.rdl), shared data source (.rsds), and published report items (.rsc) files. They are not deleted, but they will no longer run. You must delete the files manually.

Setup won't delete the report server database or modify the report server instance that was used for integrated operations.

To Uninstall from Windows Control Panel

To start the wizard from Microsoft Windows Control Panel and remove the add-in:

In Control Panel, in Programs , select Uninstall a Program

Select Microsoft SQL Server RS Add-in for SharePoint . You can also start the uninstall wizard by running rssharepoint.msi from the command prompt with no switches.

Click Remove .

Uninstall from the command line

To uninstall the add-in from the command line:

You'll see a confirmation message box. Click Yes .

Uninstall the add-in from the local server only

The previous methods of uninstalling the add-in will remove the Reporting Services features and object from the farm. If you have a multi-server farm and want to uninstall the add-in from only the local computer and leave the SharePoint farm in a functional state, complete the following steps:

This will unregister the Reporting Services components from SharePoint and remove the files, but for the local computer only.

If you want to unregister the Reporting Services features from SharePoint but leave the files on the disk for use later, complete the following steps:

The above steps assume you completed an installation of the .msi with SkipCA=1 and the rscusstomaction.exe is available. For more information, see the section describing the files only installation.

How to Repair rssharepoint.msi from the Command Line

To repair or uninstall the Reporting Services add-in using the command line, complete the following steps:

Setup Log Files

When Setup runs, it logs information to a log file in the %temp% folder for the user who installed the Reporting Services Add-in. For example c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp .The file name is RS_SP_<number>.log , for example RS_SP_0.log . Each error in the log starts with the string "SSRSCustomActionError".

AppData is a hidden folder in the Windows operating system. You may need to modify your Windows Explorer folder settings so you can see hidden files and folders.

View a log file with Windows Notepad

The following commands will change the command prompt path, list the rs log files and then open one of the files with Windows Notepad:

View a Log file with PowerShell

Type the following command from the SharePoint Management Shell to return a filtered list of rows from the file, that contain "ssrscustomactionerror":

The output will look similar to the following:

2011-05-23 12:40:12: SSRSCustomActionError: SharePoint is installed, but not configured .

If you have an existing installation of the Reporting Services Add-in, you can upgrade to the current version. The add-in setup will detect the existing version and prompt you to confirm the update. The message will be similar to the following:

A Lower version of this product has been detected on your system. Would you like to upgrade your existing installation?

If you confirm, the older version of the add-in will be removed and then the new version will be installed.

Note that the Reporting Services Add-in isn't instance-aware. You can only have one instance of the add-in on a computer. You cannot run different versions side-by-side the current version.

RsCustomAction.exe

The following table summarizes the rscustomaction.exe switches:

Configuring Reporting Services

After you have installed the add-in on all the necessary computers, you need to configure the report server from SharePoint Central Administration. The steps that are needed depend on the order which the different technologies were installed.

How to Install SCCM Reporting Services Point | ConfigMgr SSRS

Prajwal Desai

This article is a step-by-step guide to install SCCM reporting services point role. I will show you how to install and configure the ConfigMgr SSRS reporting services point and enable reports.

To access reports in Configuration Manager, you need a reporting services point. When you run the reports in ConfigMgr, the Reporting Services connects to the Configuration Manager site database to retrieve data that is returned when you run reports.

If you are thinking of how do I enable reporting in SCCM, it involves a series of steps before you can use the reports in Configuration Manager. This guide shows every step that you require to install and configure reports in SCCM.

Like  SCCM log files , there are many reports that come preinstalled with ConfigMgr. Configuration Manager supplies 470+ built-in reports, covering many of the reporting tasks that you might want to do. You can also use the SQL statements in these reports to help you write your own reports.

If you are looking to repair SSRS or reinstall the reporting services point, refer to the following guide on SCCM reinstall reporting services point .

What is Reporting in SCCM?

Reporting in Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager provides a set of tools and resources that help you use the advanced reporting capabilities of SQL Server Reporting Services. SCCM Reporting helps you gather, organize, and present information about users, hardware and software inventory, software updates, applications, site status, and other Configuration Manager operations in your organization.

Reporting provides you with a number of predefined reports that you can use as is or modify to meet your needs, as well as the ability to create custom reports. Configuration Manager includes over 450 report definitions in over 50 report folders, which are copied to the root report folder in SQL Server Reporting Services during the reporting services point installation process.

The reports are organized in subfolders based on the report category and displayed in the Configuration Manager console. Reports are not propagated up or down the Configuration Manager hierarchy; they run only against the database of the site in which they are created.

You can run the reports in Configuration Manager console by using Report Viewer , or you can run reports from a browser by using Report Manager. To run reports in the Configuration Manager console, you must have the Read right for the Site permission and the permissions configured for specific objects. The user account will need Modify right for the Site permission to modify the reports.

What is Reporting Services Point in SCCM?

SCCM’s reporting services point connects with SSRS in order to copy SCCM reports to a defined report folder. SCCM will establish the general and security settings for the reporting service. When you run reports, Reporting Services connects to the SCCM site DB to retrieve the returned data.

A Reporting Services Point role can be installed on a central administration site, primary sites, and on multiple site systems at a site and at other sites in the hierarchy. The reporting services point is not supported on Configuration Manager secondary sites .

By definition, the reporting services point is a site system role that is installed on a server that is running Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. The reporting services point performs the following tasks:

  • Reporting Services receives a copy of the Configuration Manager report definitions.
  • Report folders are created depending on report categories.
  • Configures the security policy for report folders and reports. These policies are based on Configuration Manager administrative users’ role-based rights. If you alter the security policy, the reporting services point connects to Reporting Services every 10 minutes to reapply it.

Prerequisites for Reporting Services Point

When you plan to install the reporting services point role in SCCM, the following prerequisites are required.

  • .NET Framework for the Reporting Services Point. Use .NET Framework 4.8 and above.
  • SQL Server Reporting Services for RSP
  • SQL Server Native Client for the Reporting Services Point
  • SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2022 or later.

SQL Server Installation for Configuration Manager

One of the prerequisites for installing the Configuration Manager is SQL Server. The Configuration Manager stores its entire data in a dedicated database on SQL server. Each Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager site requires a  supported SQL Server version  and configuration to host the site database. Hence, you must install the supported SQL Server version for Configuration Manager .

The latest versions of Configuration Manager current branch support SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2019 and later. You can install any of these versions of SQL Server for Configuration Manager. This guide assumes that you have already installed SQL Server for ConfigMgr. If you are planning to install the SQL Server for SCCM, refer to the following guides:

  • Install SQL Server 2017 for Configuration Manager
  • Install SQL Server 2019 for SCCM | ConfigMgr
  • Upgrade SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2017

Create SSRS Connection Account

When you install SCCM reporting services point, you use a dedicated account which is nothing but the SSRS connection account. When you create this account in AD, provide it NO further domain access. Please do not make it a domain administrator. All it requires are regular, low rights. Make it a local administrator on SQL Server or the SSRS server at all costs. SCCM handles granting the rights required by SQL Server and SSRS.

Download SQL Server Reporting Services for SCCM

You can download the latest version of SQL Server Reporting Services from the Microsoft Download center . Older versions of SQL Server would install the SQL server and the reporting services. However, with SQL Server version 2017 and later, you must download the SSRS installer separately and install it.

Download SQL Server Reporting Services for SCCM

Good afternoon, is there a way to reporting services on a separate server to that of the Config Manager DB?

Thanks for the post, a nice walkthrough.

Hi Prajwal,

I installed report services on my sccm server, and it works as usual except that the report account start to register Audit Failure log (4625) ASAP I added the service to SCCM, and every time i open SCCM console. I’m using WS2022, SQL 2019, SSRS 2019. I have few environment which has the same configuration, and there are no problem at all. Do you have any idea?

Generate SSRS Report On Demand with PowerShell and a Web Service

By: Jeffrey Yao   |   Updated: 2024-02-14   |   Comments   |   Related: > Reporting Services Development

There are times when we need to generate the same SSRS report over and over again but using different parameters for each run. We may also need to generate a report in a specific format, such as PDF or Excel, and then send it to different users.

For example, let's assume I am a teacher with an SSRS report that can generate a student's test score report based on the student ID, and I want to send each student their score report by email. How can I accomplish this without having to manually run the report over and over again using different parameters for each run?

SSRS provides functionality through an XML web service with a SOAP API. As such, if we can make a program send a correct web service request with the right parameter values, we should be able to get the SSRS to render a report with the needed format.

Fortunately, in PowerShell, we have a cmdlet called invoke-webrequest that can make a request to a web service. As long as we compose the right request, i.e., with proper parameter values for the SSRS service, SSRS will generate the right report with the correct format (PDF of a CSV or HTML, etc.).

Let's demonstrate how this works. First, we need to create a demo package composed of a simple SSRS report on three simple tables plus one PS script:

Create a Simple SSRS Report

As shown below, it is a straightforward report, so I won't explain how to create it. However, I will provide the key information about what data the report will use (all screenshots are from SSRS Report Builder ).

ScoreReport Layout

I created a data source named [dsScore], which is defined as the following:

data source [dsStore]

Based on this data source, two datasets were created:

  • [dsetStudentID] with the following setup. This dataset is to provide values for the report parameter, i.e., [StudentID].

dataset [dsetStudentID]

  • [dsetScore]

dataset [dsetScore]

We also created an SSRS parameter [StudentID].

report parameter [StudentID]

This parameter's available values are from the dataset [dsetStudentID]

parameter values

After the report is published to the SSRS server, we run it. If we chose, for example, StudentID = 2, we will get the following report:

ScoreReport manual rendering

This report can be saved as a PDF file by clicking the save button and choosing "PDF." This score_report.pdf file will automatically save to your computer's [Download] folder.

Manully_saved_report

To do this for each student is very manual. First, we must choose a Student ID and then save the generated report to a PDF file. If we need to generate a score report for each student in a class, operating manually can be very tedious.

Create PowerShell Script to Run SSRS Report with Parameter

To automate this via programming, we can use the following PowerShell script to do the work. I will assume you have installed the latest PowerShell SQL Server module .

The report rendering command, i.e., rs:Format, can have one of the following common formats: PDF, CSV, XML, Word, Excel, or IMAGE. For details, please see the links in the Next Steps section of this tip.

One special note here is that the parameter name in the Uri link is case-sensitive and should be exactly the same as the parameter name used in the SSRS report. In my case, it is StudentID (see Fig_Parameter above). If I use studentid instead of StudentID, it will not work.

uri_param_case_sensititive

To run the script quickly, we can copy and paste it into a PS ISE window and run it, and we will find three PDF files generated:

Three_ScoreReport_Files

If I open ScoreReport_2.pdf with Acrobat Reader, I can see the following:

ScoreReport_2.pdf

Report Delivery via Email

With all reports generated, we can easily create a T-SQL script to send out each report to individual students.

Assuming we already have SQL Server database mail set up, we can use the following T-SQL script to do the work:

If I set @debug = 1 and run the T-SQL script in an SSMS query window, I will get the following printed T-SQL commands:

Generated_Delivery_code

We can examine the code generated and see whether it is logically correct. We can even copy and paste a few lines to run manually. Or we can set @debug = 0 so the whole delivery script can be executed. Of course, SQL Server database mail needs to be set up before any email can be sent out.

This tip uses PowerShell to generate an SSRS report via a web service request. Once the files are generated, we may further handle them for other purposes, such as sending them to end users.

We can generate SSRS reports in many other formats, such as Word, Excel, CSV, or XML formats, and these types of files may be consumed by other downstream applications. It extends the presentation of the data inside SQL Server databases.

We may also modify the PS script in this tip to be a function and package it into a customized module so we can use it more conveniently.

The following links provide more information about SSRS URL access details, which are the technical foundation of this tip. Also, at MSSQLTips, we have other tips about performing similar work within an SSIS package.

KB5033688 - Cumulative Update 25 for SQL Server 2019

  • 3 contributors
  • Applies to: SQL Server 2019 on Windows, SQL Server 2019 on Linux

Release Date:   February 15, 2024 Version:   15.0.4355.3

This article describes Cumulative Update package 25 (CU25) for Microsoft SQL Server 2019. This update contains 14 fixes that were issued after the release of SQL Server 2019 Cumulative Update 24, and it updates components in the following builds:

  • SQL Server - Product version: 15.0.4355.3 , file version: 2019.150.4355.3
  • Analysis Services - Product version: 15.0.35.45 , file version: 2018.150.35.45

Known issues in this update

Access violation when session is reset.

SQL Server 2019 CU14 introduced a fix to address wrong results in parallel plans returned by the built-in SESSION_CONTEXT . However, this fix might create access violation dump files when the SESSION is reset for reuse. To mitigate this issue and avoid incorrect results, you can disable the original fix, and also disable the parallelism for the built-in SESSION_CONTEXT . To do this, use the following trace flags:

11042 - This trace flag disables the parallelism for the built-in SESSION_CONTEXT .

9432 - This trace flag disables the fix that was introduced in SQL Server 2019 CU14.

Microsoft is working on a fix for this issue and it will be available in a future CU.

Improvements and fixes included in this update

A downloadable Excel workbook that contains a summary list of builds, together with their current support lifecycle, is available. The Excel file also contains detailed fix lists for SQL Server 2022, SQL Server 2019, and SQL Server 2017. Select to download this Excel file now .

Sorry but I absolutely disagree with the “auto install of recommended components” being on by default. This is a mistake and seems like a marketing way of getting new stuff installed to advertise MS products and not a useful feature for those who don’t care. This feature should be off by default. The most you should do for an update is let me see recommended new components. Problems I have with this:

– Unless I find the well hidden update settings (or if using an automated install and knowing to update my automation) then it will auto-install new stuff that I didn’t ask for. – As VS goes through more versions and recommends “new” stuff then my install base will grow ever larger unless I take the time to remove the recommended features. – It is possible that by installing a component that I didn’t intend to have installed that it messes up my otherwise properly configured build system and/or makes system changes that cause other dev tools to break. There will be no easy way to tell what broke things. – “Recommended” is a subjective topic. The team that wrote it might find it important as might sales who can get more people to buy into a service. But what about third-party products? Can they “encourage” MS to include them as a recommended component? I’m fine seeing a list of “recommended” stuff but it shouldn’t be auto-installed. – May install workloads/components that it depends on that I don’t actually want or need. Does it look at what I have already and recommend from there or does it just blindly recommend? For example I see Aspire as a recommendation but that requires ASP.NET workload (which is huge) but I only do C++ development. I don’t want these extra workloads. – May introduce security risks that I’m not aware of. Suppose a recommendation requires that I have Java installed and it auto-installs Java for me. Now my infrastructure team that does asset management will determine that I need to keep Java updated even though I don’t use it myself.

This is just a bad decision. I have already gone into the 3 installations of VS I have and disabled this option (because it shows up for VS 2019 as well even though it is only listed for VS 2022) but now I have to tell my whole team to do the same thing.

I have the same fears as Michael. Please reconsider this.

I agree that this should not be on by default. VS already has plenty of small gotchas just waiting for you with each update, because only major changes are mentioned, not the many small things that can catch you off guard (like the default file encoding for some types having been changed). Plus, the word “recommended” to me means a recommendation, not something that will be done.

microsoft sql reporting services install

I am going to have to agree with Michael here. This is not a good idea, IMO. MSFT, please reconsider it.

microsoft sql reporting services install

Hi Michael! Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. Here’s some context for this feature. We do not recommend any workloads other than the core IDE, which is required for Visual Studio. When users select a workload to install, we recommend components that are likely important to successful use of that workload. Additionally, beginning with Visual Studio 2017 we have enhanced Visual Studio within the major version to improve productivity and development capability. Sometimes these new features are in existing components, and sometimes they are in new components. As most customers update Visual Studio from minor version to minor version, when we add a new recommended component, these users would not receive the new feature unless they modify their installation. We install recommended components only for workloads you’ve chosen to install. So, installing recommended components during updates helps to streamline the process, ensuring users have access to the latest components.

If you do not want to make use of this feature, it can be deselected in the Update Setting dialog. And if you decide that a recommended component is no longer needed, you can remove it by modifying your installation.

' data-src=

Except it’s not available to “deselect in the update settings dialog” until you’ve already upgraded to the version that auto-installs stuff you didn’t want.

And saying “it’s OK, you can always uninstall it again later” does NOT address the concerns in any way!

Sorry, but this is a tone-deaf response that completely ignores the concerns raised in the comment you’re replying to, and the numerous other replies.

' data-src=

To this day uninstalling VS stuff always leaves system stuff installed by VS behind in the system.

Between Java, Android, UNIX and Apple ecosystem IDEs, Visual Studio is the only IDE that touches all the system instead of perfectly being confined to its installation directory.

Meaning a proper clean installation of VS tends to require a full OS installation, and a reason why many of us use VMs for Windows development with snapshots.

Hence why we tend to be so touchy when this kind of options come to be, enabled by default.

' data-src=

The other bad thing is that said feature cannot be turned off before the update. If you want to make sure that you only have the components you really want installed, you have to export the settings before upgrading, apply the update, export the settings, do a diff and then uninstall the individual components that were added against your will.

For some development teams/cases/environments it is simply inappropriate/unacceptable to change the setup of the development machine without their knowledge. We install them without the `–includeRecommended` commandline switch. Now this is what they’re going to break.

I think a blogpost is not the appropriate place to convince Microsoft to reconsider this setting change and migrating it correctly. I think a reported bug is better place.

If the feature actually makes it to the released version, then the increasing number of upvotes will show how many more people this feature has angered (especially those who do not install the preview).

Michael Taylor, have you created (or are you planning to create) a bug report on https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com Can you please share the link? So that it can be easily upvoted.

I have not created a feature request nor do I intend to. In all the years I’ve reported bugs and requested features I’ve never once had a suggestion actually implemented unless it was already on MS radar. Bugs are almost always closed as “not our problem” or “not enough people impacted” and sometimes that can be years later. Developer Community is just a PR stunt in my opinion. It takes longer to write one then I’m sure it takes MS to “review” and ignore it.

Not to mention the flood of spam currently filling the “newest” requests. It’s as if Microsoft don’t have any kind of spam-filtering solution available to them!

' data-src=

Putting all the work into full revamp of the Attach to Process Dialog is very nice, but have you considered just simply making the Batch Build Dialog finally resizable …like people have been asking for for more than 4 years now? You’ll be able to close dozens of feedback requests at once if you do.

' data-src=

I’d rather there were a stable version of Visual Studio with only bugfixes, nice as these improvements are… I try using VS 2022 from time to time and when it crashes or doesn’t work, I go back to VS 2019. VS 2019 was never fully stable either and regularly surprises us with bugs never before seen (like yesterday, when breakpoints on background threads stopped working?!) but seems a bit better than VS 2022.

Still looking to the day C++/WinRT and COM tooling improvement to make up for C++/CX deprecation in 2015 makes up the list, however I guess due to the ongoing security concerns, improving C++ dev experience beyond Unreal and WSL isn’t a priority at all.

' data-src=

Really annoying bug: Hovering “…” of hidden method body and BOOM, visual studio is gone, can’t even close it! Fix please!

Thanks for the feedback, could you get me more details on what you are referring, some instructions on reporting here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/VisualStudio/report

I dont know why when I build windows app and I run on my system it displays fine. But when i take to a smaller screen it hide some areas. But I used vs 2008 it displays normal. Please what is really causing this?

Hi Cyprian,

Could you let me know what type of app you are running and what version of Visual Studio you are using? It would be helpful if you could report this issues via the dev community site here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/VisualStudio/report
