I updated VS2013 to Update 3 along with Web Essentials. This is my only extension. Now, when I run a solution, it freezes for ~3 seconds every ~5 seconds, making VS totally unusable when I'm debugging. I can't edit any source. Is anyone else experiencing this that has found a fix? My only solution is uninstalling WE.

Since a few days I am experiencing some weird issues with both SSMS and VS 2019:
SSMS cannot open for editing any table (right click on table name) or design: the application hangs and becomes unresponsive.
VS 2019 has become very very slow, opening windows takes a few second, compiling time for the same project has growth from 10 seconds to up to 1 minute (different projects tested)
No special errors in the Windows 10 Event Log, no other info.
Now I don't have many other details, I tried uninstalling and installing completely SSMS but didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had the same problem for weeks and finally cleared out temp files and it now works.

Does anybody know if Visual Studio Update 4 bring something which can consume CPU too much?
I had update 3 before and did not have any issues with performance, but after Update 4 I noticed that Visual studio is doing something (even if it's in background) and CPU is not going lower that 15%
Also it's not very responsive after 1-2 hours or work, I have to restart it.
I noticed than it's IsAssertEtwEnabled takes most of CPU, but have no idea what is it, I googled but found only one answer about DevExpress plugin, but I don't have it.
(if I uninstall updates, everything back to normal, but I prefer to have software to be updated)
UPDATE: I found the issue, it's browser link causing CPU and performance problems. After disabling browser link it get back to normal.
See second screenshot to see how to disable browser link
Try disabling browser link. Thats what I did.
It happens with Visual Studio.
The best part is to remove it completely and re install everything from first.
This is mainly caused because you have did Update
That IS:
1) Remove your Visual Studio and Emulator's and updates completely.
2)Install Visual studio.
3)now install just the current version update 3
4)now the emulators.
Your done!!!
It happens with Visual Studio because you have updated that not installed the latest version directly, when you are upgrading that some threads are running behind that checks the current version every time you are connected to internet
Try reinstalling that visual studio
Diable browser link
I'd also recommend to uninstall Visual Studio completely and install the latest version VS 2013 with Update 4. It's the current stable version.
And works better on my PC as compared to VS 2012. :)
Just in case if disabling browser link does not solve the problem, try to run VS in safe mode by running devenv.exe /safemode. This will disable any third party add-ins and you can check if some add-ins have issues with the new update.
If it still doesn't solve the problem, try reinstalling VS, and make sure that the installation run without any problems.
I downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2013 Profession Trial on my Windows 7 64-bit computer ( RAM is 6 GB). But, when I start it for the first time, it says 'We're getting things ready. Thanks for your patience' and its been on for about an hour.
Is this normal with VS 2013?
EDIT 1:
I left my computer running the whole night, and by morning it had re-booted. After the re-boot, VS 2013 seems to be starting quickly. So, its hard to say why Visual Studio 2013 was taking hours to start up the first time.
If the loading is taking a long time, Alt+Tab to find a login page hidden underneath the "We're getting things ready" window. Enter your Microsoft account credentials.
This answer was originally posted by Alex K in a comment.
I had already gone past the credentials screen.
I left mine running for a while but eventually killed the process and restarted VS.
It started instantly.
I had no sign-on screen hiding behind the "We're Getting Things Ready". I ended the task in Windows Task Manager. Then I started Visual Studio again (no need to reboot). This time I noticed the option to "Sign In later". I selected this and it started up in just a couple of minutes. I then signed in after it started up. All seems to be working fine now.
I too experienced this odd first time start up 'hang' on a fresh install to a new PC. For what it's worth, my experience mirrored bassbytesbikes. I finally just killed and restarted it. No discernible ill effect... so far.
I came across this problem installing Visual Studio Premium 2013 in a VirtualBox VM. Specifically, I'd enter my login credentials and then it would hang on the 'Preparing for first time use' screen. If I killed VS and then restarted it, it'd bring up the main window but then hang before it displayed the startup page.
The solution for me was to enable 3D graphics acceleration in the VM settings. This seems to be because IE relies on 3D graphics and VS uses IE to display the start page (among other things).
As an answer, I got the same issue while creating, openning projects at visual studio 2012. Then I searched a lot about it and I learned that they fixed that problem with Visual Studio 2013 with Update 5. I got the vs2013 with update 5 and everything works well now.
For my situation the firewall was blocking the connection to Microsoft's server
I've recently noticed that after my projects grow a certain size I end up getting a lot of VERY annoying typing lag in VS2010. It affects every language and every word I type ends up taking around 5 seconds to render - the same with deletes, it also buffers them well enough as if I become unreasonably impatient and hit delete again 3 seconds later... it processes ALL my deletes.
So the obvious point is hardware: Intel Core2 6300 # 1.87GHz, 2GB RAM, 32-bit OS and a usual 7200rpm 8MB cache HDD, shouldn't experience this much lag surely! So I've decided to uninstall and re-install VS2010 to remove any plugins I may be using (the only one I personally installed was AnkhSVN for Subversion). Still the exact same problem.
Where I'm up to now, I've just attached a debugger to view the native code of my devenv.exe process and I see that every character I type throws a huge number of these First-chance exception at 0x757ed36f in devenv.exe: 0xE0434352: 0xe0434352. - anybody have any idea what this is / how I can find the source of these offsets?
I experienced the same issue when editing .cshtml files in Visual Studio 2010. At first I thought it was a memory issue, but MemTest showed no errors and it was a very isolated problem within Visual Studio, so I looked elsewhere.
I searched through some forums and got the idea to look at Extensions I had installed. For me, the only one that pertained to editing CSS/HTML that I was running was Web Essentials. I uninstalled it and restarted the IDE, and the lag was gone.
It is strange because I have been running this extension for awhile in multiple environments and never experienced any issues. I'm not sure what changed or why it broke, but for anyone having this problem, look at the extensions you have installed.
I have also heard a lot of people having issues with the CSS3/HTML5 Web Standards Update extension. I didn't have it installed but it might cause similar issues.
I experienced the same issue in VS2012. After reading mhornfeck's answer I tried uninstalling the following via Add/Remove Programs then restarting VS:
Microsoft Office Visual Web Developer 2007. Product Version: 12.0.4518.1066.
Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages. Product Version: 1.0.20105.0.
And the lag is gone!
I'm working on a solution in Visual Studio (v10.0.30319.1) which contains 8 C# projects (WPF Application and Class Libraries). I've been working on this solution for several months, but yesterday I started having problems with Visual Studio hanging for some time when starting and stopping my app in the debug environment.
I first notice it when I stop the application and VS hangs for around 5 seconds. I then press F5 to start again and it takes 5-10 seconds to start. Then I stop the application and it takes about 10 seconds to stop. The problem subsequently worsens until I reboot the computer (I'm not sure if restarting VS is sufficient - I will test and update the question when it happens again).
Once the computer has been restarted, I cannot replicate the problem, but I know it will creep up on me again today.
While the problem is happening, one of the cores is at 100% usage. Memory usage for devenv.exe is normal at a bit over 200MB, and not increasing.
The computer is quite powerful and everything else is working correctly so I'm sure it's not a resource issue.
Did you update VS2010 with Service Pack 1?
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 Download
Be warned, although the page says it's only an 800 KB download, what is actually downloaded is a downloader that downloads over 800 MB of patches. (That's a lot of "downloads" :P)
Delete your solution user option files i.e. {SolutionName}.suo and {SolutionName}.docstates.suo
It worked for me, before doing that I tried #Casey solution but it didn't work.
so first try deleting files, if it do not work then update VS2010 and then delete files again.
