This extension tries to simplify the process of restarting visual studio, it also allows you to restart with elevated permissions (usefull for example when starting to debug attached to IIS).

By pressing Restart Elevated command inside the File menu, visual studio will be restarted with admin rights and the current solution/project will be reopened (even command line switch will be restored).

Version 1.1 changelog

  • Added restart (without admin rights)
  • Showing restart even when running elevated (requested in comments)

Note
Restarting while running Visual Studio as Administrator would cause VS to restart elevated.

Extension is open sourced on github here, feel free to comment or report any issue.
