Low performance of Visual Studio 2013 - visual-studio-2013

Visual Studio 2013 is very slow on my machine. I have an i5 with 4 GB Ram.
I am using Bar mode for vertical scroll bar
I have disabled CodeLens
I have also tried the suggestions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894215
What other options should be disabled to increase performance?

Try Running it in administrator mode, or Change it's compatibility to windows xp service pack 3. You can do that in control pannel or right click on the icon and go to properties and change it in compatability mode.

Changing a couple of settings might help:
In Visual Studio, Navigate to: Tools > Options...
In general group un-check "Enable Rich Client Visual Experience " and "Automatically adjust visual experience" options.
I think this will help.

Loading a Xamarin project into Visual Studio breaks all it's keyboard shortcuts

When loading a Xamarin project into VS, all the shortcuts stop working. No F5, no nothing.
Scenario
Say intellisense shows it's recommendations while you're typing however the common Tab key doesn't complete what you've started and recommended by intellisense. Later on typing a dot bring the intellisense menu with the recommendation (base.), but if you esc, you can't bring it back with Ctrl+Space anymore.And as I mentioned non of the F1 ... F12. Wanted to know if this is common issue and if there is an easy fix.
It's Windows 7 64-bit, Visual Studio 2013 Pro with Resharper.
Attempts
Checked if the F5 key is mapped in Visual Studio and it is.
Tried remapping the Resharper shortcuts from it's options. Didn't effect anything.
Any thoughts?
I have solved this issue with disabling Resharper from Visual Studio menu,
Tools > Options > Resharper Platform > General > Suspend Now.
Restarted VS and then enabled the Resharper back.

Remove window shadow/glow from Visual Studio 2012

I am using Window 7. I have removed the shadows from my windows, but Visual Studio 2012 seems to ignore that setting and draws a shadow (or glow) anyway. Is there a way to remove that shadow/glow?
From here:
In some situations, you can improve your Visual Studio performance by changing your Visual Experience. To change these settings just go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Visual Experience:
Untick "Enable rich client visual experience" and the shadows should go away.

ctrl-c ctrl-v stopped working in visual studio 2010 and 2012

Can't figure out what happened and not addons were installed lately.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause it?
If it is isolated to Visual Studio go to Tools--> Options --> Keyboard and verify that CtrlC and CtrlV are still bound to Edit.Copy and Edit.Paste respectively.
Go to visual studio
In Tools > Options > Keyboard
set mapping scheme dropdonw to Default and click on Reset button.
Restart Visual studio at once.
Your problem may resolved.
I had the same issue with Visual Studio 2022. Go to Tools > Options > Keyboard and set "Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme:" to (Default) and click on reset. Then restart visual studio.
