On Visual Studio 2010, when I just start the program (no need to open any project) then after it's connected to TFS, every time I open a work item, create new work item and then save/close that work item, Visual Studio 2010 Pro will crash. This is on Windows 7 x64. Here's the error log:

Faulting application name: devenv.exe, version: 10.0.40219.1, time stamp: 0x4d5f2a73 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18229, time stamp: 0x51fb1116 Exception code: 0xc06d007f Fault offset: 0x0000c41f Faulting process id: 0x2374 Faulting application start time: 0x01cf90a75a7f9436 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: a597b2e6-fc9a-11e3-96ea-1803731bb61d

Any idea on how to fix this? I have tried the following: - reinstall SP1 for VS 2010 - install TFS power tool - start Visual Studio in safe mode, resetsettings, resetskippkgs - start using compatibility mode - run as administrator - did sfc /scannow - do repair on visual studio 2010 - complete uninstall / reinstall visual studio 2010 - install visual studio 2010 SP1 TFS compatibility GDR

Please note I also have Visual Studio 2013 installed on the same machine and working with TFS is not a problem there, only on VS 2010. Any other idea on how to fix this issue?

I cannot see anything related with windows-kernel here – Gonmator
the error has something to do with kernelbase.dll, but I guess it might not related to windows-kernel, I have removed the tag. – violato
I finally fixed the problem, after playing around with crash dump, WinDBG, I tried uninstalling Service Pack 1 (windows.microsoft.com/uninstallwindows7sp1) and everything works again. – violato
Wow. That's a very drastic solution. Not very practical seeing how many other software require SP1. – thebunnyrules
I read in some other threads that uninstalling and re-installing SP1 works. So it may not be an incompatibility with SP1 causing the crash but rather a corruption in the SP1 install. – thebunnyrules

I can't guarantee that this will work for your situation but I was having the same crashes and re-installing .Net seems to have fixed them.

I installed .Net 4.5 (which includes 4.0) but I'm sure installing .Net 4.0 alone would work as well.
