I have been running into this issue often, where Visual Studio seems to get stuck "Loading" and "Updating" SOMETHING constantly, causing VS to run at 50% CPU utilization indefinitely.
All I do is simply load the dotnet core solution. The dependencies are loaded as normal, but then the lower status bar shows Loading/Updating back and forth and slows things down significantly. Have not been able to figure out how to fix it other than deleting my entire solution folder, and getting a brand new repo. Then it will go away for a while, soon to return.
I now have a co-worker that has had the same thing happen on his, so I know its a thing.
I have a video of this happening here: https://youtu.be/dSs-EWNnFWM
Anyone have this issue?
