When Visual Studio opens a project, it closes with no error message.



Opening the Event Viewer shows a single Error event, with the source of .NET Runtime. The error event looks like this:

  • You are the best! I had this same issue but it was being reported as an extension that was the culprit. so, I disabled all extensions and tried again. Same error. Configured dumps and got nowhere. Finally found this same error in the activitylog.xml and found my way here.

Full disclosure, I'm answering this question myself because I looked for the answer for 4 hours and couldn't find it, and eventually figured it out myself. So hopefully if someone else has this issue, this can help them.



When Visual Studio opens a project, it closes with no error message.



Opening the Event Viewer shows a single Error event, with the source of .NET Runtime. The error event looks like this:



Application: devenv.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The application requested process termination through System.Environment.FailFast(string message).
Message: System.InvalidOperationException: Controller terminated before accepting connections. Exit code: 9 (NodeInvalidArgument).

  • You are the best! I had this same issue but it was being reported as an extension that was the culprit. so, I disabled all extensions and tried again. Same error. Configured dumps and got nowhere. Finally found this same error in the activitylog.xml and found my way here.

After over 4 hours of trouble shooting, I found that the error was being caused by having a NODE_OPTIONS environment variable set with a value of --max-http-header-size=32767 in my System Environment Variables. Removing this environment variable entirely fixed my issue with VS 2017 and 2019 crashing.
