I will not say much about why tomato sauce would not be appropriate.

So yesterday, I noticed a popup message that updates for VS2017 were ready to install, but I didn't think much of it.
Then, during a GoToMeeting session with a new client, VS2017 refused to open, saying something about the settings file being corrupt, and to fix it, use devenv.exe /resetsettings or something like that.
I rebooted instead, and VS2017 was able to open the SLN file.
This morning, I noticed some weird things. All my keyboard customizations were gone, and the (my opinion) useless code lens was back.
A really annoying thing I noticed was that Ctrl-Tab, release all keys, Ctrl-Tab again, which used to toggle between two tabs (and still does in VS2015 and VS2012), no longer toggles between them, but instead continues to cycle forward through the tab list. WTF.
And the last insult is, when I try to import my exported settings, I click on "just import my settings without saving", click on "Next", and the freaking dialog box exits.
The most amusing one though was when I clicked the "close" icon for the IDE, it closed without error, and the VS2017 said "restarting" and it relaunched.
It seems to have gotten a mind of its own, so like Dave (Space Odyssey 2001 reference) I unplugged its brain and am now re-installing.
We'll see.
The most annoying thing is that up until this weekend, VS2017 was working flawlessly (not that I push the tech limit what with desktop and simple WPF stuff.)
[edit]
Just found this:
Ok, I found the problem.
The error occurred because I've had 110 dpi scaling on my monitors.
Setting it to 100 dpi, everything works fine.
You have GOT to be kidding me.

Crazily enough, that fixed the import settings problem. (Yes, I was running at 110% custom size because the laptop screen is pretty much unreadable with my 54 year old eyes otherwise.)
[/edit2]
[edit3]
While the import dialog now appears, it failed to import my keyboard settings. Sigh. Remapped my keyboard shortcuts (including that stupid Next/Previous DocumentWindowNav popup, and exported my settings to a file. Who knows if it will properly import the next time it screws up.

Sounds like it's channeling SSMS to me. On my old job's laptop I always had to close that dumpsterfire twice because the first time it would normally relaunch itself.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's absolutely correct. Mickeysoft does not want you to take too close a look.

Is that the conclusion you came to using your whole open mind? 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

So if you set it to 90%, does it close before you click the close icon?

Visual Studio 6 had none of these problems. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
