Not only that: I ensured my machine was plugged in, I checked my internet connection, and I also turned off the machine, waited 30 seconds, and turned it back on. I've essentially run the full suite of advanced help desk techniques. And still it crashes once a day!
Doomed, I am.

Hmm.
It looks like you forgot to implement the "shake your mouse about" method.

Long shot, but I had this kind of issue once; solved it by deleting the .vs folder in solution's directory.

I apply all updates. I keep an eye on memory. Mine runs comfy with at least 1.2 GB for one session. Unload / reload a "sticky" project.

Depends what you're working on.
For me, developing a UWP app, it's crashing every 1.5-2 hours at least (but it's not something new  ).
One trick I use - every once in a while, when I end up with more than 30 open files, I close them all.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah - closing open docs certainly speeds things up.

What is "latest"? Exact version number.
Mine is 16.4.5 and in very rare cases WPF designer crashes, taking VS to the hell.
I wouldn't expect too much from VS team - they are mediocres hired for food. Developers at MS degraded for years, so be careful with every update. 
|
|
|
|
|
"Latest" meaning "The version that isn't nagging me to upgrade". In this case 16.4.5.

rebind the save to the enter key, might save you some work

Do you have older versions of VS installed in parallel? I sometimes had problems when I just updated VS 2019 and not VS2017 or VS2015 on dev. machines, mostly not with VS itself, but with installed extensions/plugins.
|
|
|
|
|
No - clean install.
I'm blaming my DELL.

You mean you stopped doing it? I never took you for a silly man, Chris.

I am required to keep patches up-to-date on all of my tools, so I update within a few days of a new update becoming available. I've had no problems with VS2019 being unstable. Maybe it's an extension that you use that combines with the update to cause problems?
|

That's what I'm thinking. I used to use GhostDoc religiously but it progressively became more bloated, unstable and froze up VS, so that's gone. I'm suspecting one of the other (very few) add ins I use are the issue.
It's a real shame that software, like cars, always seems to get bigger and bulkier, and rarely smaller, faster and more efficient.

I know this is controversial..
But what does eventlog say?
Or, what about any related log files created inside your vs directory?
|
|
|

|
- Null ref at NuGet.SolutionRestoreManager
- System.ArgumentException: The collections refer to different snapshots.at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection.OverlapsWith (x 100)
I got bored after that.

Well first line gives away
Have you tried cleaning up your NuGet packages, and then check if all works?
If then, then try add one by one, while do the check, to see what's really causing it.

I have found no issues with the latest VS2019 update. It is very stable except for not always opening the last project worked on at startup.

I have coffee and chocolate covered espresso beans, but Glory is making me tired on the *inside* so the caffeine is not helping.
I implemented so many features in my last parser generator that it's a lot of work to add them again to this generator which works completely differently. I guess I did it to myself.
Oh well, at least it's working. I just have a lot of detail work to do - the tedious stuff.
I need a code monkey. If only i could train my cats to do this.

I was thinking an actual monkey. I wasn't using a dysphemism for human developers.
