Duplicate Menu Items VS 2012

Question

anyone ever run into this issue with VS 2012?

I've tried resetting my development environment back to default and that did not resolve anything. This is really frustrating.

Answer 1

I had the same problem in Visual studio 2011. I fixed it using /setup. I'm still in the dark about the cause. DevEpxress? ReSharper? VSCommands? The combination?

The fix:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE>devenv.exe /safemode /setup

after that I started Visual Studio:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE>devenv

Answer 2

I just resolved the issue by deleting the devenv.CTM

From the path C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\1033

Hope this will help.

Answer 3

Seems answer to this a bit deeper than people says above. Need to delete registry key and the config file and perform application reset to apply solid fix:

(Paths are question of version ran, but I'm sure who ever reads this can figure what path their installations are at.)

File: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\<version>\12.0\<countrycode>\WDExpress.CTM

Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\<version>\<vernum>_Config\Menus

Express: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio <vernum>.0\Common7\IDE\WDExpress.exe" /resetuserdata

Other Versions: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio <vernum>.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /resetuserdata

This seems to fix the issue permanently (used 60 mins, lol, what a waste).
