Visual Studio 2015 not launching in Tesla.

There's been report that some students are encountering problem launching Visual Studio 2015 in Tesla. It will hang in the splash page.

1. We're currently deploying vs2015 update 3 in Tesla to try and fix the issue.

2. If you're still experience this issue, try the following in command prompt.

• Launch Command Prompt (the black terminal window)
• Type

taskkill /im devenv.exe /f /t

• this will kill any lingering VS process that got hanged.

Y:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" -safemode

• The last line will attempt to run Visual Studio 2015 in SafeMode, disabling any visual studio extensions that might interfere with it launching properly.

Once we're finish deploying Visual studio 2015 Update 3 in Tesla, you should not need to run it in safemode anymore.
