Loss of syntax coloring with F # Power Tools, reinstalling helps, looking for an easier solution

Question

I have to admit that I'm used to using F # Power Tools in my everyday F # coding. Life would not be the same without it.

From time to time, usually after a few days or weeks, I lose the syntax coloring and some other functions (F12 switches to the fact that the element stops working).

I used to fix it by reinstalling Power Tools, but I don’t know if the reinstallation was fixed or forced update of any file in VS. Just restart / recompile, etc. Will not help.

In my days, C ++ had a view information file that I could delete, something similar here, maybe? Any ideas where to look?

Answer 1

Just update / answer my old old question:

Since the F # 4.1 event at the beginning of this year and Visual Studio 2017 is coming out, F # PowerTools has been included and significantly improved. Although syntax coloring is still used, it is now a community effort supported by Microsoft, and they look better almost every nightly build.
