why is devenv.exe scanning my disc at system startup - performance

When I startup windows 10 and log-in, I find that devenv.exe is thrashing my disc for some minutes, even without running Visual Studio (2015 / 2017). Why is this, what is it doing and how can I prevent it? VS is not in my startup items.

Visual Studio 2019 Extensions loading infinitely

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.

Executable compiled by visual studio freezes

I made a simple project with Visual Studio, but when I try to run it, Visual studio freezes and I have to shut it down. If I launch the executable directly with the explorer, the explorer freezes. I've tried with visual studio 2010, 2013 and 2015, it always freezes.
Dependancy walker find no errors in it. I've sent it to a friend, and he manages to launch it on its computer. I've also tried to run in as administrator, still nothing.
I've tried this on several projects, even some of them that worked years ago, but I still have the problem.
My OS is Windows 10, with the Threshold 2 update.

Visual Studio 2013 won't start up

I installed 2 versions of the free trial for Visual Studio 2013, first Professional, then Ultimate. When I try to launch the first time, it locks up and eventually gives a "not responding" message. The first time I try, it crashes the operating system with a "kernel_inpage_data_error". I'm running Windows 8.1.
I've tried multiple times to repair the install, and tried a total uninstall/reinstall. I get the same result every time.

visual studio 2010 very slow to load and build

I have installed Visual studio 2012 on my system and after that my system is damn slow. Even Visual studio 2010 ( which was installed before) is very very slow. It takes 15 minutes to open. 5 minutes to buld a simple hello word program. I recently installed only Vs 2012 and Windows 7 SP1.
Please tell me how I can speed up VS 2010 ( not 2012). It has telerik controls added as well. I am ready to remove it if necessary.
Thanks
something tells me it might just be a slow pc?
EDIT: so as not to just leave a troll post, i recently got VS 2012 and it hasnt affected my load/build or compile times at all
If Vs 2012 Try this: Remove all the "UNUSED" MS Access or other data files in the App_Data folder - including any that are in sub folders. If you have old versions in App_Data or in any sub folders then Visual Studio will have to open all of them even if your website does not use them. In my case it took 2 - 3 minutes to open the website and even longer to close. I had 50 or so backups and test databases I kept in various folders just a archives. I just moved them to another folder in my website. Wow - Visual Studio now opens in a few seconds.

Visual Studio IDE freezing while initializing ToolBox

I'm working on Visual Studio 2008, Smart Client + infragistics controls are installed and we have more than 50 User Controls. When opening the Visual Studio "Tool Box", Visual Studio is completely freezing. I couldn't work after that. I have to kill the process and open again. At this point CPU usage is around 50, CPU usage is 1 or 2 when i work on code. How to get rid out of this issue. This is really time consuming process.
try:
Visual Studio 2008 takes a long time to open the toolbox for a solution that contains many custom controls
The KB article recommends downloading and installing a hotfix.
