    I have also noticed that is you rename a file after the missing file notification and restart VS you end up with two files the old file and one with the rename.

    Changed files display yield/warning signs in Solution Explorer when using Windows Insider builds.

    • Issue:

      In the some Windows Insiders builds, saving files in .NET Core, UWP, and Shared projects may result in yield/warning signs next to the changed files.

    • Workaround:

      The yield/warning signs are benign and may be safely ignored. Reloading the solution will remove the yield/warning signs.
