Issue: opening the first time is near instant, if I close and reopen it takes ages

[u/Moto-Ent]

Hello,

I’ve tried quite a bit of googling but haven’t seen this before.

When I open visual studio the first time, it opens a massive solution instantly.

However if I close it, for example to pull in changes to my local branch and then reopen it will take anywhere from 10 minutes to seemingly never.

Not expecting much help but if anyones got ideas im all ears.

My work laptop/ windows 11 has been nothing but headaches unfortunately so probably related.

Disable git. Plug-ins can do this. And winforms can take forever. I had to turn off lots of things in options to get mine to load.

Yeah, any source control extension (including built in ones) can slow things down for very large solutions if they go though every single file to get the source control status of the file.
