Software Update: Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 16.11.9

Microsoft released Visual Studio 2022 in early November, but will continue to support version 2019 for now. This popular programming development environment has useful options to make programming easier in Visual C++, Visual Basic, C#, F# and Python, among others. The complete list of the changes in the 2019 edition can be found in the accompanying release notes† In version 16.11.9, Microsoft has made the following changes and improvements:

Issues Addressed in this Release

• Fixed an issue with being unable to debug applications multiple times when Windows Terminal is used as the default terminal.
• Setup fix to unblock customers on restricted configurations
• Fixed an issue that prevented a client from being able to update a more current bootstrapper. Once the client is using the bootstrapper and installer that shipped January 2022 or later, all updates using subsequent bootstrappers should work for the duration of the product lifecycle.
• Addressed occasional instance where VSInstr would not exit when instrumenting a binary with volatile metadata causing Instrumentation Profiling to fail.
• Fixed an issue were compiling C++ code with very large functions using /Og or #pragma optimize(“g”) can generate invalid code (bad codegen)
• Fixed a bug in C++ Concurrency::parallel_for_each that was crashing the calling process due to integer overflow

From Developer Community

• Console application runs only once when the Windows Terminal is selected as Default Terminal Application
