Hello

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

High memory usage can indeed slow down the server, especially when multiple users are working simultaneously. Here are some suggestions that might help:

For Hyper-V:

Update Hyper-V Integration Services: Open the Hyper-V Manager, select the virtual machine you want to update, click Connect, then on the Action menu, select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk.

Change the System Profile Settings: Restart your server and press F2 to enter System Setup mode. Enter the System BIOS, select the System Profile Settings option, select Performance from the drop-down menu, apply these settings, and reboot your server.

Monitor Resource Usage: Use the Resource Monitor to identify performance issues.

For Visual Studio:

Use a 64-bit OS: If you upgrade your system from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, you expand the amount of virtual memory available to Visual Studio.

Disable Automatic File Restore: Select Tools > Options to open the Options dialog box. On the Projects and Solution > General page, deselect Reopen documents on solution load.

Configure Debugging Options: Enable the Just My Code feature, which only loads symbols for your project.

Disable Unused Extensions: Under “Tools - Extensions”, disable any extensions that you’re not using.
