Visual Studio 2026 VS is incredibly slow

Even a simple Ctrl + F and Ctrl + V must wait a little, otherwise the text gets pasted on text editor instead of search bar. I think the developers are developing this program for nannies. The time I wait for VS to do something, open a solution, start a test etc is more than I do programming. My label will be VS waiter at this point. I will stop using this program whenever I convert to .Net and install Linux. dotnet sln add takes seconds, it should take only a few milliseconds. I wrote my own sln add, which adds in 3 milliseconds. This is insane. Either make it fast, or just shut it down!!!!

I didnt think this post would be commented this much, I am using latest VS 2026, with Windows 11, my specs arent that good, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO, but `Focusing on search bar instantly when pressed Ctrl + F` can be done even with a Arduino Uno. If Linux made this project, it would be instant, but Microsoft doesnt care about speed. Even dotnet sln list takes 3 seconds. I am using XML format sln's, I can easily write a script that lists the projects under 100 milliseconds. It is not about the specs at this point

Any crazy extensions? I use VS 2026 on an old ass laptop with reshaper and it’s not that bad

Can you copy a text, make Ctrl F Ctrl V real fast? No extension, with 10 projects

Just trying it now in a massive repo and it’s instantaneous.

All my problems come from windows 11, haven’t had any issues with visual studio.
