visual-studio toolbox

I am using visual studio 2015. I have my toolbox open and I checked on Show All. I unchecked this an now my entire toolbox is empty except for the General Tab (which there is nothing in). I tried resetting the toolbox but that did not fix the problem. Has anyone encountered this before? If so, what was the fix? Thanks.

Try right clicking in the toolbox and select 'show all'... I hope this help. =)

you can also start /reset

Thank you for posting.

Could you please capture some screenshots for me?

From your description, it seems that your issue might be related with IDE. I suggest you to try to execute the following command.

Devenv.exe /SafeMode

Devenv.exe /ResetSettings

If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,
