How do I revert back to a previous build of Visual Studio 2019?


How do I revert back to a previous build of Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition?

After updating to the latest build of VS2019 Community, IIS Express has become unusably slow with debugging and the update has caused a number of problems with existing projects. I need to revert back to 16.10.4.

How do I do this (the links on the MS site only have installers for Enterprise and Professional, not Community)?


Solution

  • We provide older installer for VS 2019 Enterprise, Professional and Build Tools, the Community version is only supported on the recommended latest release of the latest minor version of VS.
    To workaround this, please fully uninstall VS 2019 and download the Previous Professional edition that you want and run it, close the dialog (select workloads) that popups by default and click the 'Available' tab from the installer, select the VS community 2019 version to install.
