I've been experiencing this as well, and I just noticed that it only happens in Cordova projects.

My current work around is File -> Recent Files and select the file(s) that just closed. The file(s) re-open and reappear in the file tree.

I think they must be re-opened for VS to find all the files necessary for a build.

Solved this issue by rolling back to old build.

Undoing Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 solved the problem.

Answer 4

This issue just occurred on my system too. Only files in the www folder have this issue. You can close a file that has not been edited. Or restart VS to fix.

Issue: Saving a file closes it from view and removes it from the project. It is however saved and you can use add-existing to get it back. Everything else seems to be normal. Using vs2015 community with cordova on win 10.
