Migrating to VS 2022

Question

I have been happily using VS 2008 up to now, it does everything I want (I am a hobbyist) and I enjoy using it.
I am in the process of moving from Win 8.1 to Win 10 and thought I should consider VS 2022 as part of this process.
I am running VS 2022 on Win 10 on an HP Z620 with dual Xeon processors and 64 GB RAM and I can't believe how slow VS 2022 is compared to VS 2008. It had lots of extraneous things like line numbers and linked lines which I have managed to turn off. It seems to have pop ups offering me everything I don't want (I had to change some code to differentiate between two different objects yesterday and having added "System.Window.Forms" as a prefix to the first item I went to the next and it seemed to have changed itself. In fact it hadn't, it was a pop up second guessing what I might want to do and I couldn't do what I wanted as it was in the way).
Is there a quick way to get back to VS 2008 speed by turning off all these annoying popups? I thought I had a bug yesterday because my program wouldn't start but in fact it was still compiling.
It still gets confused when adding links to files, something I raised before with no real answer. When I add a link to a user control it frequently only adds a link to on or two of the needed files so I have to remove the link and add it back until it picks up all the files.
Any help would be appreciated, at the moment there seems no advantage to moving to VS 2022 especially as it still seems to have all the original Winforms controls which haven't been upgraded.

Hello AnnaXiu-MSFT
This is a Winforms project.
I'm not sure what sort of screenshot would be helpful, can you clarify please.
VS 2022 updated itself yesterday and I am not using third party extensions, just Winforms controls and the API.

I seem to have two different identities, I'll try and sort that out.
