I had a similar problem when trying to load Xamarin project. Regretfully, deleting *.suo file, as well as other answers mentioned here, did not help.

The solution was to reset Visual Studio settings, as described at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/willy-peter_schaub/2010/09/15/if-you-have-problems-with-tfs-or-visual-studio-flush-the-user-cache-or-not/

Delete the contents from the following folders:

• C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
• C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
• C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon

Go to the Visual Studio IDE folder in command prompt and Run the following command “devenv /resetuserdata” from the Visual Studio IDE folder: * Typical location for 64 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE * Typical location for 32 bit: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE

Be careful, as you will lose all your project settings

Answer 3

For whats its worth, I remember working with a project that was using git source control, and we discovered that visual studios git client was causing the whole environment to run really really slowly, probably because the project was very large.

Go to Tools->Options->Source Control->Plug-in selection-> Select None from the list.

This improved things greatly for me in the past, hope it can help you!

I have a solution with many projects. Last night I added a new project to the solution. This morning, the VS15 IDE would freeze up with this error after loading my solution. I tried many of the suggestions in this thread, but none seemed to work.

I removed the new project from the solution, and now everything is working fine. Something must have been corrupted or just plain wrong in my .csproj file. Once it was removed from the .sln everything seemed to work fine again. Now I'll rebuild the new project.

:)

For this issue, there is no any exact solution. from my experience, there can be lots of reasons for this error. you might fixed this by doing

1 ) deleting the .vs folder in the project file

2 ) Removing the web cache at C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache

3) Clearing the temp files

4) Update/Upgrade or re-installing the vs :(

But, Still you might not found the solution, then the next step should be

UNINSTALL YOU ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM

 specially if you are using Bit Defender / 
 McAfee most probably that will be the reason for the issue ( in my case is 
 was McAfee) 

 If it doesn't work,

 Go for **System restore** 
 (better solution than re-installing the visual studio )

 I solved this issue after uninstalling McAfee anti-virus program.

 Hope this will help you.

This happened to me when updating a SSIS package using VS 2008,

Solution: Open the dtsx file, search all the timeouts and change them to something like 10 seconds, for some reason some of them where 0, which basically means: 'hang forever'.
