Visual Studio 2013 : how to open multiple projects in different windows?

Question

I'm trying to open two projects in two different windows but every time I double click an other solution, it closes the old project and then it opens the new project in that window. I mean I could do this with VS 2010 but with VS2013, I can't. How do you open multiple projects in different windows ?

EDITS: maybe I can't explain myself well. I want to open two different solutions in two different windows. this will make me able to work on many projects at the same time.

SOLVED :This issue disappeared as I reinstalled the OS!

Answer 1

If you have Windows 8, you just need to search for Visual Studio in the start menu, then right click and choose Open new window. It will open another instance of Visual Studio.

Answer 2

根据需要启动Visual Studio多次，并在Visual Studio的每个实例中打开每个项目（文件->打开->项目/解决方案）

Answer 3

in VS13, when you open source code, it opens it in tabs, you can see the name of the tabs right at the top of the window.(the name of the source code will be there) just drag it and move it off Visual studios, somewhere over your desktop and it will open in a new window. I believe that will work. Please let me know if this works, i know i have documentation on viewing tabs in VS, let me find it while you test this :) if you want a way around opening another instance of VS, open the project by locating it For instance C:\\Users\\Jonathan\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2013\\Projects thats my default location, open the project there, it opens VS as a new instance

Answer 4

Here is how the problem was solved!

• I have created another user in Windows OS
• Log on with the new user credentials
• Open Visual Studio

The issue remains when I log with another user, that is why I would say it is due to current user settings .
