After jumping from Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio 2015 you might have experienced a big difference in time it takes for the 2015 IDE to open up. If you use DiskMon it will tell you it’s trying to load a bunch of folders / files in various locations. After deleting files from following folders there’s a night and day difference in load times:
C:\Users\<user_profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSiteCache
C:\Users\s<user_profile>\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\vs
C:\Users\<user_profile>\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root
Also, perform these steps to further speeding up the IDE perform following steps:
1. Tools > Options
2. In Environment > General configure checkboxes as shown in following snapshot
No more long coffee breaks while waiting for the IDE to load.
Happy and Fast coding
