Using Visual Studio Ult 2012 v. 11.0.50727.1.
When I close a solution or Visual Studio, the program doesn’t not respond for several minutes.
I’ve tried the solutions proposed in http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/748339/vs2012rc-hangs-on-close
(turning of auto-recover and installing hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2493869)
Visual Studio 2010 is installed next to 2012. Here we don’t see the problem.
Any ideas?
This particular problem was caused by Visual Studio projects referencing dlls on a (mapped) network drive. The file-server runs Windows Server 2008 and the client (where VS is running) runs Windows 7. Hence SMB 2.0 is used between the two. SMB is the protocol used for network file transfer.
Disabling SMB 2.0, reverting back to SMB 1.0, on the client fixes the problem.
