Visual Studio Community 2015 Installation stuck on creating a system restore point

I tried to install the new Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition but unfortunately without success because the installation gets stuck on creating a system restore point.

What I did to solve the problem:

• checked if enough space on disk
• started installation as administrator
• adjusted the maximum disk space used for system protection (4GB)

Do you know other possible solutions I could try to solve my problme? Ty

Solution 1:

I had the same problem during installation VS2015 on Windows 10.

I solved the problem by killing the svchost.exe process that blocked the installation:

1. Go to the Task Manager details tab
2. Find vs_community.exe
3. Open the Analyze wait chain,
4. Check svchost.exe and kill it.

It will stop creating the system restore point, but will resume the installation.

Solution 2:

Try to disable any antivirus running on your machine. It worked for me.

Solution 3:

The current version of AVG Free antivirus is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

1. It does not allow Visual Studio to be installed on the computer. It gets stuck at "Creating restore point". Visual Studio installs perfectly when AVG is turned off.

2. Any code compiled in "Release" mode targeting x86 platform/environment (in project properties) does not compile. It compiles successfully when AVG is turned off.

I posted the issues in AVG support forum but no one responded.

Solution 4:

I had same problem.
I'm using 2 Anti-Viruses AVG Internet Security, Avast Internet Security.
I tried to stop AVG Firewall and stop Avast until shutdown.
And It worked. Installation success
