Why does VS 2019 Prompt to save the solution when closing when no changes made?

I am working with a project that exists on a remote server; I access via Amazon Workspaces. At times, there are two people working on the same project. Sometimes, when I close the solution, Visual Studio prompts me to save changes, but as far as I can tell, there are no changes made, as I normally save as I go.

It's always the solution file that VS tells me has changes.

What is being changed in the background that is causing these prompts?

It happens to me and yes it is confusing and irritating. The thing that is especially confusing for me is that it forgets where the solution was opened from. Are you using GitHub or some other Git? I think the problem is related to that. Perhaps this problem should be reported as feedback.

We're not using any source control, yet. However, there are two developers, sometimes working on the project at the same time. I would expect it's related to that, but unsure of it.

At first, I would choose not to save changes. However, lately I've been clicking yes. It doesn't appear to be creating any problems. We just wanted to understand which changes are occurring, that we're saving.

Hi @jeffking222 ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

According to your description, I can’t reproduce your issue on my side. Maybe there is a background VS task running. Have you installed some extensions in your VS 2019?

I suggest you update your VS 2019 to the latest version and temporarily disable some third-party extensions from Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed > select and Disable.
Meanwhile, you can try to disable Save AutoRecover information every: in Tools > Options… > Environment > AutoRecover.

If you still encounter the problem, you could report it to product team engineers by selecting “Help” menu > Send Feedback > Report a Problem.

Sincerely,
Anna

Hi Anna,

Yes, I have the Telerik extension installed, and use it extensively. This could very well be the cause. I will update, as suggested.

Again, so far, this hasn't created any issues. We just wanted to understand what was occurring.

Thank you.

Jeff.
