VS 2017 - Very slow (laggy) when debugging


When I debug my solution, vs 2017 is very laggy and slow it's like it has to operate something heavy in the background.

So it stops "responding" every 5 seconds for 2 seconds, which is very annoying. Any suggestions?

EDIT (tried suggestions):

  • Browser Link is turned off
  • Stopped customer feedback

Solution

  • After some additional investigation I found this thread Unchecking Enable Diagnostic Tools while debugging in Tools → Options → Debugging → General did the trick!

    Unchecking Enable JavaScript debugging for ASP.NET in
    Tools → Options → Debugging → General
    makes a huge difference in performance.
