Manage Extension

The extension can be disabled and enabled. Actual extension disabling occurs the next time Visual Studio is opened. The same goes for extension enabling. In the disabled mode, it is impossible to create new HIP projects by the wizard, but all the existing projects are left buildable.

To manage extensions, use Tools -> Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio 2017 or Extensions -> Manage Extensions in Visual Studio 2019/2022.
