I have an application created by Xamarin.Forms (PCL)

When I try to Clean the solution,

visual-studio goes to stops working, and I can't open any file or press anything to close it.

just by killing the visual-studio process 'End Process Tree for visual studio.exe'.

if I try to build or rebuild the solution is done without any problems.

if I try to clean Xamarin.Android or Web-Application solution is done.

the problem appears just in Xamarin.Forms solutions.

how I can solve this problem?

    If you plan to use "Enable UI Debugging for XAML", make sure your current solution is not set to Lightweight Solution Load: In the options->Project and Solution, make sure that "Lightweight Solution Load" is disabled. Also make sure that in the solution properties, "Lightweight load" is not turn on . If you don't plan to use "Enable UI Debugging for XAML", uncheck Debug -> Options -> Enable UI debugging for XAML. – Lucas Zhang Oct 16 '18 at 05:36

After many attempts, I found the solution without installing the latest version of the visual studio.

Step 1: Disable lightweight solution load

Tools → Option → Projects and Solutions → Lightweight solution load

enter image description here

Step 2: Make sure in the solution properties Lightweight Solution load is disable

Step 3: Uncheck Enable UI Debugging Tools for XAML

Tools → Option → Debugging → General → Enable UI Debugging Tools for XAML

enter image description here

Step 4: Rebuild Solution → Clean Solution

Also, you can clean the solution from Build → BatchBuild

Deleting the .vs folder manually and relaunching the Visual Studio again solved my problem.
