Agree! This has been going on for years. What's the point of adding a lot of bells and whistles when basic functionality is just crap!
Tonight I've had 4 freezes where each takes about 30 minutes to unlock. And each time I send a report back to MS, but it seems like this report ends up in the binary dustbin.
Now this freaking crap just froze again!! It's bloody impossible to get some serious work done using VScode :-(

I can not believe that I am paying something about 350$ and I need to troubleshoot it every day to access my project which I am working on for several weeks. I will try to find some alternatives as soon as I am done with this project. Thank you for everything, but this simply does not work and I having a lot of frustrations with my deadlines and I really do not need this to stuck me at the point where I am hopeless

Having similar issues latest VS2022 Enterprise hangs when you have tabs open and are working (in anger) I tend to also have multiple VS instances laptop has 32GB ram super fast SSD.
I have JetBrains rider subbed may use that see how I get on.

Hello @56140202,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Please first try to clean VS cache(rename every folder called ComponentModelCache in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_XXXXXXXX) and reset VS settings(run devenv /ResetSettings in Developer Command Prompt For Visual Studio 2022).
Please also check if you have installed any extensions, if so, try to disable them temporarily or try to run VS in Safe Mode(run devenv /SafeMode in Developer Command Prompt For Visual Studio 2022). Please check if there’s any limit/antivirus which may block VS from building/displaying/running on your machine.
Since there are many reasons for not responding, could you please collect and share us the ActivityLog.xml file for further check? To collect the log, please close VS => run devenv /log command in Developer Command Prompt For Visual Studio 2022 => reproduce the issue => go to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Version>\ActivityLog.xml, share us the log file(avoid the privacy information) or share us the snippets of recorded error/warning message to check.
If you changed any settings such as Registry, system environment variables, system files, windows files, VS files, and project configurations, please let us know.
If this issue only appears on a Windows Forms project which is based on .NET/.NET Core, then please consider submitting a ticket on our Developer Community for further check, as support for .NET based Windows Forms projects(Designer) are still in improvement.
Feel free to let us know the results.
Sincerely,
Tianyu

Hi,
We experience the same issue "VS2022 not responding" during a debug session.
The issue happens in a "specific" condition where we hit a breakpoint.
After hitting this breakpoint, there is nothing to do except kill VS2022.
We tried the exact same scenario with the exact same project using VS2019 and it works without any trouble.
ActivityLog.xml files available here:
I can also provide a quick video if required.
Are you using any extension or referencing any additional libraries? If so, please check if this extension and library can be updated to a higher version and try to update them or reinstall/readd them.
Make sure that you have tried resetting VS settings and tried starting VS under the Safe Mode, then try to update VS 2022 to the latest version and repair VS 2022 from VS Installer.
Besides, did this issue appear before in VS 2022? Did you remember what you did before this issue appeared?
Regards,
Tianyu

Like most things with Maui VS and Maui don't go well together. I have tried about 50 ways to try and get rid of this but ..... (sorry can't think of a non rude word). There are so many things that VS is so bad at and debugging Maui is simply a non thing. I have a log of the problems and if I were to post it here some MS person would surely delete it. MS spend some time trying to fix VS PLEASE!!!
