How do I REALLY reset the Visual Studio window layout?

by

Have you tried this? In Visual Studio go to Tools > Import and Export Settings > Reset all settings

Be sure you back up your settings before you do this. I made the mistake of trying this to fix an issue and didn’t realize it would undo all my appearance settings and toolbars as well. Took a lot of time to get back to the way I like things.
