@DavidRGardiner yeah, well... my experience is the exact opposite. After opening a Solution with more than ~10 Projects, VS 17.4 just gets to an unreaponsive hold for at least 5-10 Minutes preparing and initialising IntelliSense.
@minzeit Do you have many extensions installed?
@DavidRGardiner Yes, of course I have. Anyway - i already tried disabling them and that didn't change anything.
What's kinda strange is, during the hold i have no check-in/check-out state of any files from DevOps TFVC. Don't know whether thats just accidentially at the same time or probably part of thr problem.
