Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 Hangs with "Waiting for Operation to Complete" Message
Delete the Solution's .suo (Solution User Options) file. I'm not exactly sure why the hang-on-launch happens. I assume that some option gets into a weird state, and this forces them all to reset.
Here's a related thread, where the same conclusion is reached: when .suo files become corrupt 'odd things happen'.
Visual Studio 2013
Power failure in which not using UPS , machine loses power --> 3 times now VS 2013 would hang and my solution I found was to DELETE everything in this folder
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
However THIS time it is not recovering.
I do have Visual Studio 2015 and it NEVER happens to VS 2015.
SOLUTION FOR ME
- I opened a different solution in VS 2015 which opens fine
- I then attempt to open the same solution that will NOT open in VS 2013 IN VS 2013 and it NOW WORKS.
:/ ODD I know.
