"Here's to no more out-of-memory exceptions □" Silver concluded. To demonstrate the real-world effect of VS being a 64-bit application, Silver pointed to a GIF video showing the IDE open up a solution with some 1,600 projects and about 300,000 files: We've updated our download pages to clarify this." Now, long into the 64-bit computing era, that has finally changed. In reply to that issue posted on the Developer Community site in 2019, Microsoft responded: "Visual Studio remains a 32-bit application, though certain components (e.g., diagnostics/debuggers, MSBuild, compilers, designers) will take advantage of 64-bit processors if available. This caused confusion among some developers who downloaded the 64-bit version only to find it was installed as an x86 app. Visual Studio has long been available in a 64-bit edition able to create 64-bit applications on 64-bit computers, but it remained a 32-bit application itself. "With a 64-bit Visual Studio on Windows, you can open, edit, run, and debug even the biggest and most complex solutions without running out of memory." "Visual Studio 2022 will be a 64-bit application, no longer limited to ~4gb of memory in the main devenv.exe process," said Amanda Silver, a program management exec in the Developer Division in an April 19 blog post introducing VS 2022. Visual Studio 2022 will be previewed this summer as a 64-bit application, opening up gobs of new memory for programmers to use.
