I have Visual Studio 2015(Enterprise edition) installed on Windows 10 Virtual Machine. Whenever I try to build/compile VC++ application in Visual studio then VM is crashing.

Issue : Windows 10 VM crashes with an error message(event logger) “The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.”.

Following solutions are tried with no luck.

  1. Increased RAM size to 32GB
  2. By changing VC++ project setting i.e. 'Maximum concurrent C++ compilations' to '4'.
  3. Set affinity
Visual Studio
Visual Studio

    Hi @Madasnal, Daryappa, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Do you mean that it only occurs in building VC++ project? Can you create other projects and check again? 

    The error message usually indicates that your Windows shuts down incorrectly.

    Please refer to: Event ID 41: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first". 

    You can check for your Windows updates and try to repair your VS2015 by opening your Control Panel > Uninstall or change a program > search it > right-click on “Change”. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
