I Recently I installed VS2010 on my desktop. Everything was fine until I started noticing that after each build my computer freezes up(for almost 2-5 minutes). I removed all the extensions and tried still no luck.
Any suggestions ??
If you experience crashes of Visual Studio, typically when working with a very large solution, your IDE might be out of virtual memory. Typical indicators of the problem include a "one or more errors occurred" message, "the process appears to be deadlocked" message, and OutOfMemory exception in a crash dump.
Actually during each build, I could see ExpansionsXML.xml file is being processed again and again.
I found a Microsoft support article (support.microsoft.com/kb/956549) that has resolved my issue.
What I did:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\1033\ExpansionsXML.xml
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Languages\CodeExpansions
I will update more if I see same issue
Install procmon, and see what's happening. Do you have anti-virus running? Does the problem go away if you disable it?
