I'm using Visual Studio 2022 Community on a Mac for Unity development and over time VS's memory usage increases (2GB+) so I periodically shut it down and restart it. Closing all tabs doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
I need to have multiple instances of VS running which ends up eating into a substantial amount of available memory. I did update from VS 2019 in the hope this would resolve the issue but the problem remains.

I have ran in this issue, and it is weird. I have installed Visual Studio some time ago, and haven't launched it in like 2 months. Now when I create project it is really laggy, and cpu or ssd is not running at 100%.
Instead, it tries to load extensions, but it seems that it is failing. I have tried to repair it through Visual Studio Installer, and running VS as an admin, but that gave no result. The extension it tries to load is kind of random and can vary between the launches.

currently using Visual Studio 2015. And at random occasions when I am debugging my code Visual Studio 2015 will get "Not responding" and never start again so I have to restart the application. First I thought it was due my code, but it's not (I think) It doesn't always crash but it does crash 8/10.
And always at random locations sometimes just when I start debugging, and sometimes when I debugged half of the code and sometimes just at the end.
And I am the only one that is facing this issue?
Must have been something with my computer.
I did a fresh install and so far I have not had any issues while debugging.
It seems like you might need more memory for VS 2015. VS2015 takes more memory comparing to old versions.
I've downloaded visual studio 2015 RC .iso and started installation.
But It is taking too long time.
It is around 20 hours of installation time but still it is not complete.
My machine is with intel i5 440 processor and 8GB of RAM. But still it is taking this much time.
Please note. I've selected all option in Visual Studio Community 2015 RC Installation ( Full Install )
Can anybody tell me the reason for this much amount of time?
Simplist possible problem is that the installer has lost it's internet connection. The lovely team at MS reponsible for this installer for VS Community 2015 did not program in an error message if the internet connection is lost. It simply won't do anything, forever if it still needs to download. Once the internet connection is re-established, it'll happily download and installer some more.
Horrible oversight.
I guess the problem is the same as found in Visual Studio 2015 installer hangs during install?. Please check and do the needful. This worked for me after hours of wasting my time.
I'm running visual studio 2012 and I've noticed lately that incremental search is absurdly, painfully, blood-pressure-risingly slow. Here are the major extensions I have as well:
Resharper 8.1
Emacs Emulation extension (modified slightly to get it to work with VS 2012 [all you do is change the version attribute in the XML])
What gives?
After some experimentation turning extensions on and off, it turns out that this was because the instance of Visual Studio was running for an exceptionally long time. (on the order of days)
Closing and restarting Visual Studio made incremental search go back to its normal speed.
My system currently has Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition installed. I'm thinking of installing Visual Studio 2013 Professional Edition. I referred to this link which seemed to be a duplicate of my question. But there is no discussion there about memory consumptions.
My question is will running 3 versions of VS on the same machine cause too much of memory consumption? I'm having 8 GB of RAM and an i5 processor.
I just want to be sure before I install. Any suggestions or answers will be welcome.
Thank you. :)
You can have as many versions installed as you want without impact (other than disk space). On my previous machine (i5 proc and 8 gigs of RAM) I had VS2005, VS2008, VS2010 and VS2012 and I didn't notice an increase in memory consumption of individual instances.
Of course, if you run multiple instances at the same time memory consumption will rise, but that is still true if you run multiple instances of the same version of Visual studio. I regularly run two or three instances with fairly complicated solutions (20-50 projects) at the same time on 8 gigs of ram without slowdowns or issues.
