Visual Studio 2017 crash

We are running into a problem opening our MVC5 solution in Visual Studio 2017. It will show a message saying loading projects, followed by "Preparing solution" and then it just freezes. Some preliminary research has lead to suggestions like

  1. Remove the hidden .vs folder
  2. Repair installation by running as admin
  3. Updating to the latest released VS build
  4. Remove any node.js type folders that have deeply nested folder structure within the solution folder

However, none of these have worked. Has anyone else run into a similar problem using VS 2017 with their solution? There are no special commands on packages loaded on startup.

Deleted the vs folder, but it didn't work.

Looked for recently changed files in the project, saw Web.csproj.user — when I removed this the project works again.

I was able to finally get it to work. I updated to the latest Visual Studio build 15.0.0+26228.10, but that did not seem to help. After removing my .vs folder before opening the solution multiple times, it finally started to load. I have no 3rd party extensions or tools running.

We saw some lockups, especially during the start of Batch Builds, until we set this experimental feature to False:

Tools > Options : Text Editor > C/C++ > Experimental : Enable Faster Project Load.

I don't know whether it could apply to your problem or not, but it is related to loading projects, so...

Good luck.
