VS2019 Not Responding

Question

After the VS2019 16.10.2 update, the IDE freezes and becomes unresponsive after a solution build. This happens 8 out of 10 times.

Answer 1

I have C++ Desktop Development, C++ Game package, and .Net package installed.

I have tried switching of "Allow parallel project initialization" but this has no effect.

Any other options I could try?

Answer 2

Hi @Kelvin Martin ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

What is your project type? Have you tried to create a new project and check if the situation occurs in specific project or not?

Please try to temporarily disable the third-party extensions from Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed > select and Disable and try again.

Besides, you can try to delete the hidden .vs, bin and obj folders in the project folder and rebuild your solution.
Meanwhile, I suggest you repair your VS in VS installer > More > Repair and try again.

Sincerely,
Anna
