Starting in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, you can turn off source code analysis or execute it on demand. Consider upgrading to Visual Studio 2019.
Legacy analysis
You can disable legacy, build-time analysis on the Code Analysis properties page. For more information, see How to: Enable and disable legacy code analysis.
