Visual Studio 2013 was acting up - it would take > 20 minutes to compile.

I decided to try and help myself by deleting the SUO file thinking that may be a good first step.

Here is the thing, when I delete the file VS hangs at "loading solution". Put it back - at least the project opens (but still takes forever to compile).

From all I know this file should just regenerate - what gives?

  • Have you tried to disable your network adapter just for the loading part.. sometimes it may solve the issue... – DeJaVo Jun 22 '15 at 06:18
  • I figured this out on my own a few minutes ago, but your suggestion was actually spot on so I am going to accept it. For benefit of the community in my .proj file there were "hints" to a location that was not accessible and therefore causing an issue. I opened the file in notepad and removed them. Obviously this is a best practice issue and not a bug... Good guess by the way - your figured it out before senior escalation at MSFT did. – u12345 Jun 22 '15 at 23:46
  • I'll add it as an answer for others, please mark it as a solution and if you may, vote up for the educated guess :) – DeJaVo Jun 23 '15 at 04:56

Try to disable your network adapter. In some cases the issue comes from vs2013 trying to connect with your Microsoft username on load.

I hope it address your issue.
