Unity Opening Multiple Visual Studios When Double Clicking On Scripts.
Hello,
I'm using the most recent version of Unity and in the Help > About window it says the Visual Studio Tools are enabled. However, when I double click on a script it always opens an new instance of Visual Studio. So if I double click the same script 3 times, I get 3 different visual studios. Does anyone know how to stop this? I am using Visual Studio Community 2015. Thank you for your help.

Yeah this is super annoying and I wish somebody sorted this out... I am having exactly same problem happening not only with Community, but recently I switched to Professional version of Visual Studio 2015 and its still happening
"I have this problem too." is not an answer to the problem, is it? If you want to add a comment about your situation, you can do that with: Add comment.

Have you ever changed the project name? You can fix it by updating the files' name or the project name.,I fixed mine by correcting the project name. I changed it before this happens. You can either search for files inside your project folder and update the names, or you can change the project name back.

If you go into the projectsettings there should be a editor section, have you tried checking there to see what visual studio version you're using ?

Wait for the Visual Studio interface to finish updating before clicking on your new Unity Script. Visual Studio works fine then (for me), but DOES create a new instance of itself if I don't wait for the UI to show "Ready".
