VS 2017 - Very slow (laggy) when debugging

Question

When I debug my solution, vs 2017 is very laggy and slow it\'s like it has to operate something heavy in the background.

So it stops \"responding\" every 5 seconds for 2

Answer 1

If you are using VS 2017 Enterprise edition, try disable IntelliTrace feature (Tools -> Options -> IntelliTrace)

with this feature turned off, the laggy behavior went away even keeping the Diagnostic tools turned on (Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Enable Diagnostic Tools while debugging)
