Simply trying to publish a web service through Visual Studio 2012 like I always do, and everything locks up. You see a quick flash of a publish dialog, then it disappears – nothing can be done but to kill the process. My Azure publish works fine, but other projects like MVC do the same locking behavior. I can’t alt-tab to anything, I have found no other solution then to kill it. Any ideas? Attached is the error I get if I try to restart.
P.S. I have tried restarting and no add-ins are installed.
Actually turned out to be the first signs of a hardware failure… Apple… never again.
