/NoSplash (devenv.exe)

Prevents the splash screen from being shown.

Syntax

devenv /NoSplash [File1[ FileN]...]

Arguments

  • File1

    Optional. The file to open in an existing instance of Visual Studio. If no instance of Visual Studio exists, a new instance is created with a simplified window layout, and the tool opens File1 in the new instance.

  • FileN

    Optional. One or more additional files to open in the existing instance of Visual Studio.

Remarks

This switch hides the splash screen. Leaving this switch out causes the splash screen to be shown. If you want to examine the splash screen further (for example, to check the VSPackage product icon), use the /Splash switch.

The /NoSplash switch can be combined with other switches, such as /Run or /DebugExe.

Example

All three of the examples open the IDE without displaying the splash screen. The second example also compiles the specified solution and runs the built executable. The third example opens the specified executable for debugging in the IDE.

devenv /nosplash

devenv /nosplash /run MySolution.sln

devenv /nosplash /debugexe MySolution.exe
