Using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, and ReSharper 8.2.3 causes super laggy and slow IntelliSense responsiveness. Also, often times the dropdown is cut off and not rendered entirely, and sometimes the entire Visual Studio window turns black and becomes unresponsive for many seconds.
My system is running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Video Card with 32 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7-7820HK # 2.90-4.40 GHz
See the animated gif below for an example.
Anyone have similar issues and a resolution?
Are you using SSD? Secondly, try the instructions given here - https://www.jetbrains.com/help/resharper/Speeding_Up_ReSharper.html. I had the same issue that you mentioned and it was fixed by following instructions given under section - "Configuring Visual Studio preferences" in the above link. Also have a look at this update by JetBrains - >https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206546919-Visual-Studio-with-ReSharper-is-slow

As you see, some of the programs on Win 11 are sometimes blurred.
VSC, Exodus, Discord etc.
If you have an Nvidia GPU try turning off low latency mode, if the issue still persists then disable hardware acceleration in visual studio code
My laptop computer is MacBook Pro 13" 2010-mid with nVIDIA 320M GPU. My OS is Windows 10 x64 ver 1607. The nVIDIA driver version is 341.98.
I meet a broken GUI rendering problem. See the screenshot of Visual Studio 2017 RC GUI:
You can see the Solution Explorer pane in the left shows a broken rendering.
Actually, there are not only Visual Studio GUI, but also many application GUIs have the same broken rendering problem, for example, JabRef, Atlassian SourceTree, ...
And, there are not only Windows 10 but also Windows 8 having the same problem. Does anyone have a solution or workaround?
I find workarounds for several my frequently-used apps. These workarounds show the problem comes from the GPU hardware acceleration. Disable the acceleration for working around the broken rendering problem.
For Java apps (e.g., JabRef), the workaround is to set environment variable J2D_D3D to false. See:
Swing rendering appears broken in JDK 1.8, correct in JDK 1.7
For Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) apps (e.g., SourceTree and Visual Studio 2017 RC), the workaround is to disable WPF acceleration by adding a registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DisableHWAcceleration
with data "1." See:
How does one disable hardware acceleration in wpf?
i had many problems with windows 10 on MBP Pro mid2010, i resolved all my problems by installing the upgrade to Build 1909 by downloading the upgrade utility:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
after that i installed BootCamp4.0.4033 and by magic all works fine.
I'm a .Net developer running Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) on a 2010 MacPro (2.27Ghz/6GB RAM) using Bootcamp. Until about a month ago its been, imo, the ultimate dev workstation. However recently I've noticed that Visual Studio 2010 takes a very long time to redraw its windows. This is most noticeable when switching to it after its been in the foreground.
I don't get this problem with other Windows apps and am baffled because the machine has more than enough grunt to handle a few MDI'd windows yet grinds for up to five minutes sometimes when reactivating the VS environment - the screen update seems to slow everything down. My colleagues are using identical hardware and software but running Windows under Parallels on their Macs does not lead to this behaviour.
I'm getting desperate (and I've asked this same question at apple.stackexchange.com) - does anyone know why this might be happening and whether there's a fix ...?
Improving Performance by Changing the Visual Experience
You might have a problem with Hardware Acceleration in VS2010. I had an issue with rendering applications built using WPF because of this.
Give it a try:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2010/06/22/improving-performance-by-changing-the-visual-experience-vstipenv0017.aspx
And if that doesn't fix your issue, go to your video card settings (nvidia or amd) and do a "reset settings". Then try again.
I reformatted my laptop and reinstalled vs2010, now every time I open a asp classic solution the following occurs:
solution explorer loads
tabs for the pages left open from last time appear
wheels spin for about 2-3 minutes before I can begin work
It was fast and responsive on Windows XP pro...
Laptop specs
Intel i7 M620 2.67GHZ
4GB
32 Bit
Try disabling your virus scanner. I had a lot of trouble with vs2010 having VERY long load times until I added exceptions to my build paths in Microsoft Security Essentials.
I had to run svn cleanup on the directory. Not sure how that was affecting VS2010, but it was. Now the app loads up in about 5 seconds.
Is Visual studio 2010 slower than 2005? I just had my laptop upgraded to windows 7 64bit with visual studio 2010, and vs 2010 is much slower than vs2005 was when I had xp. Any upgrades or configurations you can think of that might help me out?
Turn off the "Enable rich client visual experience" and turn on "Use graphics hardware acceleration if available"
Extra features always come at a cost. If you don't upgrade your computer at a similar rate you upgrade your software, you'll find it gets slower and slower.
About VS2010 specifically, the UI uses WPF, so you need at least a decently passable graphics card to handle it. Intellisense also got a lot better, so it will use slightly more CPU.
For what it's worth, 2010 runs very smoothly on my computer.
Depending on your setup, Visual Studio 2010 can be faster than VS 2010 or slower. I'm not sure from your question in what way Visual Studio is running slower, though.
Is it just Visual Studio, or is anything else slower?
You mentioned you're running Windows 7 x64. If you have more than 4 GB of RAM, this is a good idea. If you have less than 4 GB, you're probably going to be slower than if you're running 32-bit. It's also worth looking at your Windows 7 performance rating--if it's low, applications like Visual Studio will be slow too.
The hardware requirements are listed over at http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/ultimate/system-requirements, but those are bare-bones requirements. If you're doing SharePoint development, then you'll need a much beefier system (SharePoint will compete for a lot of your system resources). I'd want at least 1 GB more RAM than recommended there even without SharePoint. The processor speed is fine for multiple cores, but if you have an old laptop 1.6 GHz and a single core won't be that fast.
Most people find an SSD drive helps incredibly.
Launching Visual Studio does seem to take longer, but to me it runs faster once it's up. F1 help is non-blocking now. Compiles can be done in parallel. Navigation and adding references is faster.
Grab the productivity power pack from vscodegallery.com--that adds a lot of shortcuts.
Visual Studio has more features than previous versions. Most people install everything. It may be better to just install the features you need.
The previous poster mentioned having a good video card or chipset. That's probably a good idea, but disk I/O and CPU are probably more important.
