A few people might work on the same project for a long time. They rarely open Visual Studio for any other project, while working on that one project. In that case, there is no need to open Visual Studio with the default startup page.

Can we load the last opened project whenever Visual Studio is opened to save some time? Yes, of course it can be done. Let’s do it.

Step 1: Open Visual Studio and type StartUp in Quick Launch:

visual studio

Step 2: In the Options dialog, have a look at the At Startup section:

load last loded solution

Step 3: Choose Load last loaded solution and click on OK.

Step 4: Reopen your Visual Studio and your Visual Studio will open the project for you automatically that was most recently used by you.

Hope this customization will save you a few seconds.
