Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Installation Stuck In Windows 10

Question

I am trying to install VS 2015 in Windows 10 and the installation is stuck at the \"Applying Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.23026\" section for around

Answer 1

My installation was stuck for 2 days.
I fixed it this way:

• open the Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) and use the Details tab. I had two vs_community.exe instances running.
• I've used the command "Analyze wait chain" to inspect them. One of the instances was locked in waiting for an EnableGraphicsTools.exe process. I killed the process EnableGraphicsTools.exe and my installation resumed and was successful.
