Visual Studio 2013 freezes constantly - visual-studio

After a few minutes regardless of what I do Visual Studio 2013 freezes and i get a popup saying "visual studio 2013 is busy". I've searched literally for hours and found nothing that relates to my problem specifically and even less so for anything that works (like repairing vs).

I couldn't find any other solution so I refreshed my computer and that did the trick

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Community and when running my program it's hanging for some seconds why?

I'm using visual studio 2015 community. Not sure if that's express and if that's what i need.
I see the mouse sign like it's thinking for about 5-10 seconds when running my program. When using visual studio 2013 pro it didn't do it.
I couldn't take a screenshot of it but i see the mouse circle sign thinking for 5-10 seconds before it continue to run my program.
Is there any reason why it's doing it in vs 2015 express ?
Maybe i will try visual studio 2013 express later i just wonder whats wrong with the 2015 express.
If i want to get now visual studio 2013 express should i get this version ?
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop with Update 4
It's common issue in Visual studio update 1 RTM. I and other some people debugging winforms app, and found that when we are debugging it's almost hang the computer that we can't even take screenshot.
Did you try update 1 RC (As of now), It have improvement over debugging and it's look to me that this bug has been fixed in update 1 RC.

Cannot check-in recent code changes to Visual Studio Online

For some reason I cannot check in my code to our Visual Studio Online account. Other developers can, but not me. This is the error I am getting:
"Could not find dataspace with category VersionControl and identifier [some guid]"
Searching for any help on the above error is not returning anything meaningful.
This started to happen after I installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I launched it for the first time after creating a new web application with Visual Studio 2013. I then opened that new solution in 2015 and all was fine. Things began to go awry once I tried to put it in our Visual Studio Online account. When I went to Team Explorer in VS 2015 I selected "Projects and My Teams / New Team Project". This then bounced me over to our Visual Studio Online account in the browser for me to fill out that simple form to create a new team project. I filled the form out and submitted. I then got an error that the project was not successfully created. Unfortunately Visual Studio still thinks it was created and it shows up in the list of projects ONLY WITHIN Visual Studio -- it does not show up online. Eventually I just became frustrated and deleted everything related to all that I just tried but then learned that I cannot check anything in now on my old projects! I had other developers test and they still can so the problem evidently is on my machine. I then uninstalled VS 2013 and VS 2015 then reinstalled VS 2013 and am still having the problem.
I am hoping someone can point me to some cached junk that needs to be cleared on my system. :-)
This is a bit shot in the dark, few things you can try:
Delete the local cache under:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\SyncSettings
Open cmd. Type:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
Verify connections: tf settings connections
Run Visual Studio in safe mode (devenv.exe /SafeMode)
Run Visual Studio with activity log (devenv.exe /log) and check for errors.

Visual Studio takes ages creating a project

I have problem with my Visual studio 2013. When I'm trying to create even a simple console application,VS hangs and after a while the message 'Visual studio is busy: Microsoft Visual studio is waiting for internal operation to complete.' shows up.
I have reinstalled Visual Studio but without any luck. I've used ProcMon to check devenv and all the paths it shows, have to do with Android Studio.
I 'solved' the problem by accident. I disabled Source Control and for some reason, VS started working again. I know it's not an ideal solution but works just fine when you need VS urgently.
Don't know if Visual Studio is one of those programs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe even after uninstalling, Visual Studio keeps some files in the registry from your previous installation and the AppData folder. You might want to clear those.
Close Visual Studio (if you haven’t already).
Open the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Delete the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio{version}
Delete the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio{version}_Config
Delete the %USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio{version}
directory.
Use {version}=10.0 for Visual Studio 2010
Use {version}=11.0 for Visual Studio 2012
Use {version}=12.0 for Visual Studio 2013
Hope this helps

Why is the Performance Explorer re-opened on start-up of VS 2013 Professional?

I have an annoying problem with Visual Studio 2013 Professional.
I tried doing some profiling, and ever since then, my Solution start-up is screwed up.
No matter how I save my Solution, the Performance Explorer is re-opened.
Also, all the projects in the Solution Explorer has everything expanded.
Does anyone know how to delete the Start-up cache on VS 2013?
Articles on how to do this for earlier versions of VS no longer apply.

Visual Studio 2010 and 2013 not working on my system

I apologize as this may seem as bit of a general question.
I have developed a couple of VB programs using Visual Studio 2010 Professional and others on Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. While I have not done any work in about a month with either version of Visual Studio, I thought I would go in and start work on a new project.
After entering some code in Visual Studio 2010 using WinForms, I found I was unable to run the code in the debugger (pressed the start button and F5).
It acted like it would start, then it just stopped and returned back to my code.
I thought I would try it on another program that was completed and working a couple of months ago, but I had the same issue present itself. Attempting to use Visual Studio 2013 had the same effect.
Any ideas from anyone? Has anyone else experienced this same issue recently? Once again, I do apologize for the lack of examples here, but I'm not sure what I can include to show the problem.
IMO, you should try resetting visual studio settings (and a restart may solve the issue)
you can try following
do it via visual studio -> tools -> import export settings
or you can run this command devenv /resetuserdata
