| Apr 4, 2019 at 17:23 | comment | added | Matt | I think there is more to this. I have a project that is having this issue that both builds and rebuilds typically instantly. But today, it is taking more than 2 full minutes in VS and only displaying this icon with no status. VS is pretty much "hung up" at this point providing no data as to what it is doing. | |
| Aug 23, 2017 at 9:45 | comment | added | Toby | When a project is loaded VS has to parse through the project file(s) and resolve a bunch of things. Such as check references are in place and so on, this is likely what causes a longer than expected initial process. I have a well-specced dev machine that this is barely noticeable on, one of my test machines has pretty low resources though and loading a project takes forever. | |
