Visual Studio freezing (crashing) while loading solution

Usually removing of the hidden .vs folder in solution directory fixes the problem.

I experienced the same issue with VS 2019 and fixed it by deleting the user.json file from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Visual Studio Setup

EDIT

The issue reappeared after a few days, so I located the user settings for Visual Studio 2019 (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_f124b472) and deleting the following files seemed to have reset VS to a normal state:

Current.vsk
User.vsk
ObjBrowEx.dat

Please close all your solutions before deleting the files

Possible solutions:

• Delete .vs folder as mentioned above

• Clear temp files from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp

• Readjust source control in Tools -> Options -> Source control -> Plugins, set to None, Save, close VS. Then reopen it and reset the plugin.

There is no particular order, but one of them might help.
