Update ide

You can update through the Visual Studio Installer, you can check for updates or use the Notification hub in the IDE, or you can update by running a specific version of the bootstrapper. Here's how to update Visual Studio using these various methods. For example, if you previously installed Visual Studio Community and there's an update for it, then an Update available message appears in the installer.

After the update is complete, you might be asked to restart your computer. If so, do so, and then start Visual Studio as you typically would. If you aren't asked to restart your computer, choose Launch to start Visual Studio from the installer. In certain situations, a Visual Studio update message will briefly appear. If you want to update now, then choose View details. If you want to defer the update until when you close Visual Studio, choose Update on Close.

If you chose View details , then in the subsequent Update downloaded and ready to install dialog box, choose Update to update now. You can check to see if an update is available by choosing Help from the menu bar, and then choosing Check for Updates.

In the Notifications hub , choose the update that you want to install. If you chose View details , then in the subsequent Update available dialog box, choose Update.

If you're an Enterprise or Professional customer, you can update your instance of Visual Studio to any specific version that has been released, as long as it's a higher version than what is currently installed. To update your instance of Visual Studio via this method, navigate to the Visual Studio release history page , download the bootstrapper that corresponds to the desired update version into your product installation directory, and then double click on it to initiate the update.

There are several different settings that can be customized to control the update behavior. A few of these settings are native to Visual Studio and deal with how and when the product bits are downloaded and installed. Other settings, such as the ability to configure the source of the updates, require the presence of the newer Visual Studio installer. Observe the configuration options that are available to set in this dialog.

You can choose the Automatically download updates setting, which allows updates to download while your machine is idle. There are also two installation modes to choose from: Install while downloading , and Download all, then install.

Choose the installation mode and the automatic download setting you want for your Visual Studio updates. If you're in an enterprise environment, then it's possible to configure the location that your client instances looks for updates. This is useful in situations where your client installed from a network layout, but you later want the clients to get updates from a different network layout.

The ability to configure update locations requires the presence of the newer Visual Studio installer, which can be obtained by either installing Visual Studio on the client machine, or by an administrator pushing it out through a network layout. For more information about how to use this feature, refer to the Visual Studio documentation on configuring source location of updates.
