Visual Studio 2015 online help not working

Question

I want to install C help on my local computer. I have successfully done this with all previous versions of VS. But with VS 2015, it does not seem to work. I was looking for help on this issue, but to no avail.

Here's what I do (note that there is no separate option for C, so I choose C ++):

-press ctrl/alt/F1
-under Installation source select Online
-fill in the Local store path
-click on Add for Visual C++, .NET framework and Fundamentals
-click update

Then I go to the source code and click on the function (in this case fprintf and strtok). But he always uses microsoft.com.

Does anyone know what might happen?

Answer 1

Have you tried Help -> Set Help Preference -> Launch in Help Viewer? This will stop him from opening help in the browser if this is what you are experiencing.
