How to analyze indefinite project loading of UnitTest project in Visual Studio 2022

When I switch between branches where some project/solution files have been changed, Visual Studio reloads projects files. Whenever the same UnitTest (NUnit) project is loaded, Visual Studio starts to consume as much memory as it gets (16GB and more) without finishing ever.

How/where can I get some information on that issue to resolve it?

Any other suggestions what to do?

    Hi @Tobias , 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    In fact, switching between Git branches will cause Visual Studio to reload project files. Please update your VS2022 to the latest version to get a better Git experience. 

    Meanwhile, you can check if you have any anti-virus software or third-party extensions installed, temporarily disable them. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
