when I open a project in VS and Press F5 I get the error of "Process with an id of "xxxx" is not running" but if I keep Visual studio open and wait for about 30 minutes and then press F5 it works fine!

Does anyone knows why?

  • You need to get your machine healthy again. That invariably starts by temporarily disabling the installed anti-malware product to check if it is the cause. – Hans Passant Apr 27 '19 at 12:31
  • Thank you Hans Passant, I disabled windows defender Real-Time Protection and the problem solved. Can you tell me why that's happened and how can I fix it? I have no Antivirus on my system. – Hadi Attar Apr 27 '19 at 15:36

    Anti-malware often gets upset by executable files appearing from seemingly nowhere. That Defender does this is pretty unusual, maybe your code also does something that it considers suspicious. – Hans Passant Apr 27 '19 at 16:14
  • @HadiAttar Hi, does this issue go way after you disable the windows defender Real-Time Projection? It it's enabled, the issue comes again? Try suggestions from [this link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26375217/process-with-an-id-of-xxxx-is-not-running-in-visual-studioincluded-2013-to-20). – LoLance Apr 29 '19 at 03:05

1.Run Visual Studio as an administrator

2.Open your project file(In Solution Explorer, right-click project=>unload project=>edit x.xxproj)

Delete script below:

<DevelopmentServerPort>63366</DevelopmentServerPort>
<DevelopmentServerVPath>/</DevelopmentServerVPath>
<IISUrl>http://localhost:63366/</IISUrl>

Save the changes and reload the project. F5 to check if it helps.

Please check this similar issue.

Do the following steps :-

  1. Close all the instances of VS in your PC.
  2. Open folder which contains solution file for current project and delete the hidden .vs folder.
  3. Again open the Visual Studio.
  4. Press F5 and IIS Express should load as normal, allowing you to debug.

It works for me. Thanks!

we need a lot more information.

Are you trying to build a program with an IIS Instance? Did you delete any DLLs? Does it work on other machines?

Things to try:

Try a full clean and rebuild. That is, clean the solution, git new, rebuild all. Fix any errors and warnings, then launch with F5.

Run Visual Studio as an admin. Start > Visual Studio > right click > Run as Administrator.

In your csproj file, delete the following lines:

<DevelopmentServerPort>62140</DevelopmentServerPort>
<DevelopmentServerVPath></DevelopmentServerVPath>
<IISUrl>http://localhost:62116/</IISUrl>

Save, then reload.

Try following the solutions from this Stack Overflow:

Process with an ID #### is not running in visual studio professional 2013 update 3

Delete the IIS folder with:

rmdir /s /q "%userprofile%\Documents\IISExpress

Delete the .vs\Config folder in your Visual Studio instance.

Relaunch Visual Studio as Administrator, so they can be rebuilt.

You should now be up and running.

  • 1. No, build on IISExpress 2. No didn't delete any DLLs 3. yes it worked on other machine. I tried all the solutions you provided also the solutions in the link but none of them are working... what makes me confused is that why after about 30 minutes the problem get fixed may be I have to make some changes in IIS Idle Timeout – Hadi Attar Apr 27 '19 at 14:21

I tried all the solutions from here and from the Internet. Eventually I uninstalled IIS Express and reinstalled it, and it worked. (tried on VS 2015)
