Visual Studio 2010 (C++) highly unstable

We recently moved over to Visual Studio 2010 from 2005 and the environment have turned out to be highly unstable.

I experience 10-15 crashes per day at random locations , msenv.dll and vcpkg.dll to mention a few. It can be while selecting text or compiling, not found any pattern.

The plugin we got is VisualX Assist but I doubt that there is a problem with that.

Anyone here at Stackoverflo开发者_高级运维w that experience this and/or know if there is any updates to apply to a default installed VS2010 ?

My Visual Studio 2010, without any plugins, was similarly unstable when I first installed it. I got updates from Microsoft Update, and it rarely crashes now. I never bothered figuring out exactly which update was key. It might have been a driver update, or an OS update, or a .NET update.

I'm running VS2010 10.0.30319.1 on 64-bit Windows 7. It's still slow, and it occasionally becomes unresponsive for a minute or two, but it doesn't crash very often now.

If you're up-to-date, and it still crashes, I'd be very suspicious of all plugins.
