Visual Studio Painfully Slow

[thron]

While working in C# or XAML, it's nice and speedy.. deploy an app via Debug or Release takes 3-4 minutes! Even an app that is nothing but a grid and two colored boxes (no running code or processes).

Are there any tweaks to speed up the program?

My setup: OS 10.0.10586 x64
Processor: AMD E1-200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1000 Mhz, 2 cores, 2 Logical Processors
4GB Ram

deploying the app, that would be to a phone, right? Would a USB 3 port help?

Nope, it's deploy to the Local Machine that is so slow!

I don't know about that though. Maybe the 2 cores are limiting. Have you tried the msdn forums too?

When you make a release build, VS will default compile with Native Tool Chain and code optimization flags, which takes a long time... not sure why it would take a long time with debug though - unless the flags are enabled there too?

I tried installing visual studio community - but there was one error and after installation, the program can't open the moment I launch it. I'll post a screenshot tomorrow -hope you can help :smile:

Honestly, I'm not sure where to look? I'm new to Visual Studio (teaching myself type of thing).

Okay, you have to press Alt+p (or open the project menu in the menu bar), and then press p again to chose your project properties.
Then you select the "Build" tab. At the top there's a Configuration selectbox, where you can chose the active configuration.
The flags are under the General section:
You'll hopefully see the Optimize code and Compile with .NET Native tool chain is set under Release-configuration.

They should not be enabled under Debug, so I'm not sure if those flags are the real problem.

Okay, I can have a look once you post the screenshot.
