Did you know… You can launch VS without the splash screen (/nosplash), and maybe even save some time. - #345

  • Artikel

According to some blog posts, this tip should save you some time using Visual Studio 2005. I’ve asked around and I think it loads Visual Studio 2008 slightly faster because there’s no pause for you to read the splash screen.

from cmd line, run devenv.exe /nosplash

and enjoy a splash screen free launch.

    Cool tip but the VS2008 splash screen is groovy. :-)

    Questione di millisecondi: velocizzare l'avvio di Visual Studio senza visualizzare lo splash screen

    This is fast, but it is not showing any of the recently opened Project or solutions not even from File menu. No use in opening very quickly

    The good news is that the splash screen is not displayed when you startup a solution file. I don't know about you but it's nearly always how I fire up Visual Studio: shortcut to a solution, or <win>+R and solution file name.

    Not bad.  Now I may have missed this in a past post (I searched but didn't find anything) but could you tell us how to use the Find in Open Documents so that it does that?  I keep getting results for the entire project.

    I also go into startup options and set VS to load an empty environment.  These two together save a ton of startup time, imo.

    So... what other items are available that aren't documented? I looked for the "official" list (at devenv.exe /?) and /nosplash isn't there. Also, the appropriate page on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kcc7tke7.aspx) doesn't list the switch either. Thanks!

    You can also tweak the registry when you never want Visual Studio to show the splash screen. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareClassesVisualStudio.Cur.9.0shellopencommand and append the /nosplash argument to the command like this: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7IDEdevenv.exe" /dde /nosplash Good luck!
