Visual Studio Hangs when closing .SQL files

Question

I have all extensions disabled, and only 1 Sql Project open. Yet Visual Studio hangs whenever I close a SQL file.

Versions affected:

• 2017 Enterprise
• 2015 Enterprise

During this "hang time" Visual Studio possesses a Not Responding status.

It also appears that the amount of time it stays locked is correlated to the number of files being closed/are open.

EDIT: Reproducable with devenv in SafeMode

Thoughts?

The real solution will come with an update from MS. For now, however, turning off my participation in the ‘Visual Studio Experience Improvement Program’ seemed to solve it.
