Visual Studio 2012: “Navigating To” Suddenly Very Slow

Question

I have loved the Visual Studio Navigation tool ( Ctrl + , ) since it was first introduced - instead of navigating through my folder structure, I could just find the file or class I need by name. The key has always been that the search was instantaneous - it showed all the relevant results as fast as I could type.

Now something has changed, and almost always there is a big lag before any results appear - I measured it up to 10 seconds. This is approximately 5 seconds in a search that has only one result and should have appeared instantly:

This progress bar also jumps around in a weird way.

Any ideas that might change, or what can I do to get my quick old navigation tool back?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and deleting everything in c: \ Users \ UserName \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ WebsiteCache \ helped. Now it's fast.

I found this soul here .
