I've met with a strange problem. I had 7 projects in the solution. I had to add another MVC project. Now when the document (from the new project) is opened (for example HomeController.cs) and when this project is initializing at the start, it freezes the whole IDE like this:
(Some projects do not load)
After that, I have to kill the process. When I open VS again and fast click on another project (which is initializing) the freezing issue is gone. I have no idea what can cause a problem like this. I've tried with and without ReSharper but I get the same result. Also, I restored default settings of VS. Also repaired whole VS.
Maybe someone had the same problem and could give some helpful advice?

Please open CMD and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\version name\Common7\IDE folder, run the command: devenv /safemode to run your Visual Studio in safe mode. Then, create a new project and check if the installed extensions lead to the problem or not.
The freeze of the solution is caused by a feature that is meant to fasten up solution loading: parallel project initialization. It seems to be an issue that some others already had with 16.2. x versions, so it may be a regression (as it is flagged as fixed).
If while opening a large file, VSCode freezes and then crashes, you need to delete some files. So, open Run, paste “%AppData%” and click Ok. Now, open Code > Backup and then delete the only folder that is inside that directory. Finally, restart VSCode and see if the issue persists.
Usually removing of the hidden .vs folder in solution directory fixes the problem.

Possible solutions:
Delete .vs folder as mentioned above
Clear temp files from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
Readjust source control in Tools -> Options -> Source control -> Plugins, set to None, Save, close VS. Then reopen it and reset the plugin.
There is no particular order, but one of them might help.
