Stop crashing program from automatically restarting

I'm running Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 2008 Server R2. It often crashes when I quit. Once Windows has checked for problems the app then automatically restarts which is not what I want, when I'm trying to quit.

I'd like to revert to the old Windows behaviour where it at least gave me the option to close.

Is there any way I can change this setting for Visual Studio only?

This might be a better question for stackoverflow, if you haven't already tried to post it there. – Scott Lawrence – 2009-09-30T21:21:36.607

Advanced System Settings (under Control Panel > System and Security > System)

Click the Settings button under the "Startup and Recovery" heading.

Disable the "Automatically restart" checkbox.

That's for the whole PC, not just Visual Studio. – ChrisF – 2009-10-01T08:17:16.813

I've clarified the question - only looking to make this change for Visual Studio. – Alex Angas – 2009-10-01T09:01:34.807
