Performance improvements
Visual Studio 2022 is 64-bit
Visual Studio 2022 on Windows is now a 64-bit application. This means you can open, edit, run, and debug even the biggest and most complex solutions without running out of memory.
Find in Files is faster
In Visual Studio 2022, we focused on improving the performance of several key features. For example, Find in Files is now as much as 3x faster when searching large solutions such as Orchard Core.
Git tooling is faster
New in 17.2: We've integrated a relatively new Git feature called the commit graph, which helps to improve both the performance of your Git operations and the performance of Visual Studio itself.
Build modern apps
Better dev tools for C++ and .NET, and Hot Reload
Visual Studio 2022 includes better cross-platform app development tools and the latest version of C++ build tools, to include C++20 support.
Updates for Blazor & Razor editors + Hot Reload for ASP.NET
Visual Studio 2022 includes a big update for the Blazor and Razor editors, and new capabilities for Hot Reload in ASP.NET Core—including Hot Reload when you save a file or when you apply changes to CSS files live!
Innovation at your fingertips
Git multi-repo support and line-staging support
New in 17.4: If you've worked with projects hosted on different Git repositories, you might have used external tools or multiple instances of Visual Studio to connect to them. Now, you can work with a single solution that has projects in multiple repositories and contribute to them all from a single instance of Visual Studio.
New in 17.3: We added line-staging support, also known as interactive staging. Now, you can stage chunks of changes in your files right from the code editor, or split changes across different commits.

IntelliCode improvements
Whole line completion: In Visual Studio 2022, the IntelliCode feature can now automatically complete code up to a whole line at a time.
Quick Actions recommendations: IntelliCode can now spot when you’re performing a common task and recommend the right Quick Action, completing it right as you’re typing.

Designing for everyone
Look & feel
From new iconography to subtle color contrast ratio adjustments and a new Cascadia Code font, we're working to make Visual Studio 2022 more accessible for everyone.
Personalization
One of our key focus areas is to make Visual Studio more personalized and flexible so that you can make the IDE your own. For example, Visual Studio 2022 offers you the ability to sync with your Windows theme. So, if you've enabled the "night light" feature there, Visual Studio uses it, too.
What customers say
I want to thank you for your timely response. You got right back to me tonight and I'm blown away, thanks. You guys have been first cabin, from start to finish, and I thank you. I'll never buy any software anywhere else.
I was delighted to find InDesign at such a great price and equally as pleased at how quickly I could download it and use it. It's been with me 3 days and I've already designed a brochure! Your site has a very prominent bookmark on my browser.
I thank you for all the help and patience that you have given me and I do feel that I have been a bit of a nuisance with my many requests for help. All the team have been so helpful and polite that I will certainly buy any future software that I require from you. Also your rapid response to requests is second to none and I applaud you for it.
Great product, had a problem initially downloading, emailed customer services, they responded within two hours giving me a detailed work list, it worked, I now have office 2010 and I am thrilled with it. I will certainly use this software store in the future. Thanks Guys.
I am happy to say that my computer has the product I purchased and is working well. Thank you so much for caring and following up. I will be a repeat customer just for that :)
The rating for Customer Support doesn't do the guys justice! I had a niggling problem with the installation and they supported me through the entire process. In the end they did a remote install - problem fixed! Very happy with the outstanding service they provided. Thanks again guys.
I appreciate the help the support team provided with the installation on my computer. The tech spent well over three hours trying to get the product installed and the licensing handled. We went through numerous restarts and they always responded promptly after I sent a password for the remote access to my computer. I will highly recommend your company to others for software purchase. Thanks again.
