C# 411I recently wrote how Visual Studio 2010 is very slow on my fast PC, taking 25-30 seconds to start up. Thanks to a Microsoft employee who helped me but wishes to remain anonymous, my problem is solved.
The VMWare add-in, VMDebugger, causes Visual Studio 2010 to load very slowly on my fast PC.
UPDATE: Problem solved! The VMWare add-in VMDebugger was the culprit.
I recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2010 and had a rude awakening: VS2010 starts up very sloooooow. I have a 2-year-old dual core laptop. Visual Studio 2008 starts in about 3 seconds. The first time I start VS2010, it takes about 55 seconds. Subsequent startups take 25-30 seconds. The hard drive doesn’t thrash; instead, the splash screen just sits there for a half minute before the IDE finally opens.
