How to avoid the "Data Lake" menu item displayed in the Visual Studio 2015 menu bar?

Question

When I start Visual Studio Professional 2015 Update 2 and open vb.net , the Data Lake element is not in the main menu bar. But this appears later, during development. Until I noticed what specific action appears. Have you already noticed what action makes Data Lake constantly visible?

I would like to keep it hidden because it causes a conflict between keyboard shortcuts: its Alt + D is already well known for opening the Debug menu (in the same menu bar).

Answer 1

The Lake menu item will be displayed when using any of the Data Lake features. For example, if you open a Data Lake project or go to your Analytics Data Lake account in Server Explorer. If you are not using Data Lake, you can remove the "Microsoft Azure Data Lake Tools for Visual Studio" from the control panel → Programs. If you are using Data Lake, we will consider resolving this shortcut conflict in future versions of the product.
