Why does my Visual Studio 2019 solution open with Solution Explorer closed?

I've used lots of other versions of Visual Studio. Currently, I work with Visual Studio 2019.
I always PIN the Solution Explorer window open, like so:
However, whenever I re-open a solution or after debugging a solution, the Solution Explorer window is always closed, like shown below:
Why does my Solution Explorer window keep closing, and how to I stop this behavior?
Following the suggestion by dxiv in a comment, I solved this by the Visual Studio 2019 menu:
Help
Visual Studio Performance Manager
Tool Windows
Disable Auto Hide
After I disabled Auto Hide, it no longer appears in the dialog box on my PC.

HowTo: Enable IntelliSense for MVC Razor in Visual Studio Express 2012

I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web some time in early 2012, then I performed an update in mid 2013. Next, I started using the Orchard Content Management System. The problem is that IntelliSense is not working. When I open .cshtml files, I get no IntelliSense for inline server side code such as #Html. How do I get Razor IntelliSense working?
Uninstalling and reinstalling VS 2012 Express for Web is what worked for me.
Use Control Panel > Programs & Features to uninstall Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web.
Go to the download page to download and reinstall the most recent version.

Visual Studio cannot find the EntityModelCodeGenerator custom tool

I'm helping develop a MVC application in Visual Studio 2008 using the Entity Model Framework. I've gotten the code from the source control and I'm wanting to add some new Models from the edmx file. I right click and then click "Custom Tool" but then I get the following error.
Cannot find custom tool 'EntityModelCodeGenerator' on this system.
I have Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5 SP1, MVC 1.0.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
You need VS2008 SP1.
In case you are using Visual Studio 2019:
Open the Visual Studio Installer by clicking menu Tools -> Get Tools and Features in Visual Studio
Click the tab Individual components and search for "entity",
Under the header SDKs, libraries, and frameworks you should see Entity Framework 6 tools
Click the checkbox and press the install button

Visual Studio 2008 Hangs in an ASP.NET MVC View

I'm working on an existing ASP.NET MVC 1 application in Visual Studio 2008. When I open a view about 10-20 seconds later I can't set the focus into Visual Studio. When I click with the mouse I get a system ding. Mouse wheel will scroll the source code window. Keyboard doesn't work, but the cursor is flashing.
Doing a few SO searches I found something similar and the suggestion was to:
1) clear the ngen cache
2) Install a patch that was mentioned by Phil Haack
I've done both of these but I'm still having trouble.
Any ideas or additional information that may be needed?
In addition to ASP.NET MVC I also have VisualSVN 1.7.7 and CodeRushXpress 9.3.2 installed

After uninstalling the “Microsoft Visual Studio Web authoring Component”, the problem seems have to have disappeared.

How do I get MVC installed into Visual Studio 2008?

Does anyone have any basic instructions for setting up a first MVC project in Visual Studio 2008? I just installed Visual Studio 2008 and I am finding various instructions on how to set up the programming environment, but it's very complicated and there is no way to tell if the route I am taking is the best one.
If I want to start developing a MVC project, what do I need to do in order to get it going?
I am very confused by the "Web Client Guidance" instructions. For example, they don't say where to put the Microsoft.Web.Mvc.dll file.
Use Visual studio 2008 sp1 to get mvc installed...
Here is the download link
To get started With MVC
System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003; Windows Server 2008; Windows Vista; Windows XP
.NET 3.5 SP1. Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2008 SP1 or Visual Web Developer 2008 SP1 are required to use certain parts of this feature.
The official Microsoft MVC links for Visual Studio 2008 now seem to be dead.
To get this working on my old Vista laptop (with Visual Studio 2008) in 2013, I did this:
- Upgraded to Visual Studio SP1
- Followed this link to download and install "AspNetMVCRC-setup.msi" (1.74 MB):
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=141184&clcid=0x409
Once that was in place, my old Visual Studio let me create "Web | ASP.NET MVC Web Application" projects. Took about an hour and a half from end-to-end.
All I did was install the MVC installer and I opened their example app and it worked.\
MVC Installer
First of all, you need to download MVC from here.
After that, proceed with the installation.
You might want to refer to the tutorial for starters.
