After about 5 months now I finally did something to crash Visual Studio. I am truly amazed it took so long.
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

I have been working with Visual Studio since the beginning and have never once crashed it, ever. It has done weird and annoying things over the years, but never a crash.
Kudos to you.

I have it crash or lock up once per week, on average. Maybe I just beat on it too hard. Obviously harder than it likes.
The update before the last one was absolutely horrendous. One of the worst I can remember. Top three anyway. The latest one seems to have straightened most things out. Find in Files is usable again, at least, and that is very welcome.

I work with VS 2019 8-10 hours a day have no clue what you are talking about.
WTF are you guys doing with VS that crashes once per week? Not one update has been bad for me.

Read a few other posts. I am not particularly unique.

Congratulations. 
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It crashes on me at least a couple of times a week. Full Total Existence Failure type crash. Just disappears and then sheepishly restarts.

My LG TV often does that just when I start to stream a program. It especially does not like my watching Expanse!

When I say crash I mean the VS stops responding and never comes back. It also will not totally close. The only way to recover is to Restart. However, just to make sure I shutoff power and then power back on. That way I make sure and dump any memory on all the supporting chips. Not as much of a problem now as it used to be but I am overly cautious.
Come to think of it I have not had the fade, sheepishly restarts either. I know what you are talking about. Wow, that is a long time without these either.

Some crash some don't. I wonder if it is more of a bad memory problem that Linus Torvalds has been harping about. Or may is just some installed junk.
In my case it was a brand new laptop. Engineering quality that they gave me 5 months ago. They had done a clean install so it had none of the HP junk. Just Office and Visual Studio and corporate stuff.

I have yet to actually crash VS2017. I've had components inside it crash but not VS as a whole.

I had to get a tooth extracted that was beyond salvation. Dentists suffer as much as I do when extracting my teeth, as several have told me that my "bones are extremely hard" and consequently my teeth are very, very difficult to work loose.
Well today my dentist was a petite young thing, 5ft tall and weighing around 100 pounds. I took one look at her and thought "Oh sh@t!". But she surprised me. She turned out to be very competent. She drilled and broke the tooth into 3 pieces, since it was impossible to get it out in one piece. I really suffered through the procedure, but no more than I did in the past on previous extractions. I don't blame her for a moment. She offered to put me to sleep, but I am too chicken for that. I rather stay awake and suffer!
She gave me a prescription for hydrocodone for the pain, which I picked up on my way home. So here I sit, no pain but having a nice buzz as I write this!

Went for a root canal treatment this week, but that did not work out as planned, the dentist said the canals were too narrow so I will have to go to a specialist for further treatment 
On the positive side, it was painless ...

Better that than her 6' 6" 220lb colleague who is certain that he can "just pull it out", and ends up dislocating your jaw...

Oh man, I'm living in The Netherlands at the moment and had a similar experience at an emergency dentist on new years day. Similarly sized dentist and I had similar concerns, especially when she said "do you want me to try the anesthetic, it probably wont work well due to all the infection". We got there in the end and she told me to take some paracetamol, if I needed it later. I went home and self-medicated

You let her break your tooth in three pieces, extract it, without putting you to sleep   How did you not faint ???

Despite a close call a day or two before Christmas, where the available instruments were just long enough to complete the root canal, I've managed to get away with just one extraction and that was about 30 years ago.
That ended up with the dentist half way on top of me with his knee on my chest and a set a pliers that could easily have been a car mechanic's.

I had a tooth extracted years ago (late 80s) and the dentist and his assistant were taking bets on how many pieces it would come out in.

This really isn't an issue with FedEx per se. It's actually remotely related to Griff's message. I recently ordered a small work table at Amazon but I didn't notice it was coming from China. They immediately assigned it a FedEx tracking number when they received the order. A while later I finally got tired of waiting so I looked up the number at FedEx's site and it turned it out to be invalid. It seems that what this company does is assign the number so the item is considered "shipped" and then you can't cancel the order but they never actually shipped it. I sent them a nasty-gram and demanded they cancel the order and they replied that it already shipped (obvious lie) and they would "try to ask UPS to call back the package." That would be the package with the bogus FedEx tracking number. In the end, Amazon refunded all payments.
Watch out for scammers like this.

Yeah, I've had that as well - Paypal is pretty good about it, although it took quite a few weeks before the refund hit my account.

I've had it happen as well.
As a side note, it seems ebay items from China to be taking a much longer time getting here. They updated their expected delivery date to 3 months in some cases.
