We provided MVPs with early builds throughout the entire Insiders process. They got access about a month before the first public Insiders release.

Still works. Mine isn't blank. Weird. Perhaps it just takes a while to load if you've got a lot?

Visual Studio 2026 is an impressive upgrade: faster, more capable, but still backward compatible. Check it out!

πŸš€ Feature Idea!

What if #VisualStudio could πŸ’ΎAuto restore tabs and files upon restarting (even unsaved ones).

The experience would allow developers to close Visual Studio without manually saving files and return to the prior state.

You can use italic, bold, strikethrough, and underline. Ligatures are also supported, but not all of them due to limitations in WPF

Yes, you can install VS 2026 Insiders side by side with VS 2022. I do that

I'm loving the new inline hints when debugging in Visual Studio 2026. They make debugging so much easier.
