After upgrading Visual Studio 2017 to latest version, VA becomes very slow in Debug Mode. (Already try 2217 trial)
Just try VA with my Win32 C/C++ project. In debug mode, the variables needs to take tens of seconds to display their values. If I disable VA, the problem is gone.
Does VS 2017 latest update cause the issue? I will try to install old VS 2017 and test it again.
I don't recognise this problem, certainly it is not a known problem.
How many files do you have in your solution?
If you open VA's Open File in Solution dialog (Alt-Shift-O) the title bar contains two numbers. The first number is the number of files currently listed, which changes as you filter the list. The second number is the total number of files in the list, which is normally the number of files in your solution. What is this second number?
Can you also run Task Manager, and see how much memory devenv.exe is using?
About 100 .cpp files and 150 .h files. Not a large project. The project works well with VA before.
The RAM of VS is normal. Not special high. I notice that the CPU loading is high (about 25%~30% for my i7 CPU) and I can see a small progress icon keep running in VS 2017 status bar. I use a SSD disk with 16G RAM so that I think system performance could not be an issue.
Remove all and reinstall cannot solve the issue. I will try to setup a new PC with a whole new Windows 10 + VS 2017 then retry again.
