Also getting this constantly now. It is the most dangerous place to get an error - as I have lost code. Sometimes when adding a class or view the error occurs and leaves files on one dev machine added to a project and not checked in and in some cases on the dev machine but not even in the project (i have to show all files to add it to project after a restart) - so when doing a get offsite I get a project that doesn't compile / run. Also, the hang happens during a save, which triggers the checkout - this is really bad as source control is supposed to stop you losing code!

I have not found a repeatable process, but it definitely has happened extremely regulary since update 2 and more so if I have been debugging an mvc site.

At the least it is very frustrating when under pressure from deadlines and getting a hang for 3 minutes!

This has grown progressively worse over the past several days for me. All of the other devs in my shop are experiencing this as well. The workarounds do not resolve the issue. Switching to server workspace does not resolve the issue. This is a CRITICAL issue reported over 2 months ago that has yet to be addressed. I could not afford to operate my business with that pathetic level of responsiveness. I'm really not trying to be difficult, but this is very expensive software whose proper operation is crucial to the success of many organizations; this issue needs to be fixed immediately.

Same problem, cleaning tmp files doesn't help, restart VS doesn't help.

Problem occured after installing Upgrade 2, downgrading didn't help.

I am loosing productivity big time - please fix today!

I'm encountering this bug when I try to add new files to a project (and therefore to source control).
I have to restart Visual Studio and it works again for some time. Very nasty!

Same issue VS2012.2 and TFS MS Hosted.
I'm forced to Kill the task and that leaves the project state in danger.

THIS HAS TO BE FIXED.

Wow...killed 2 hours today because every action I do takes 5 minutes. Adding a new class...5 minutes...first text change in new file...5 minutes...save file...5 minutes... the spinning blue doughnut is killing me!

Please get this fix in ASAP, this totally kills productivity!

Thanks for contacting us about this issue. We have recently completed some major refactoring to improve issues like this that can occur when using local workspaces. These fixes are planned to be released with the next major update of VS/TFS and we're considering a port to the next VS update (following Update 2).

Thanks,
Matt

It appears that the temp folders are responsible for the problems. I've posted a workaround that tells how to clean out the temp folders. I have cleaned them out 3 times in the past 12 days. I don't remember doing this at all with 2010.

This is happening to me with my WP and Win8 apps. Such a huge productivity killer.

Hi PaulGBrown, thanks for your response. Your issue has been routed to the appropriate VS development team for investigation. We will contact you if we require any additional information.

Can I change the status to blocking because it's getting worse? I almost have to check out the entire project just so it won't popup on me. It took less than 2 minutes before I ran into it again.

Example: Today I added an existing file to my project. After approx. 1 min, I got message the above message. The file was added to the solution but was not being tracked by SC. I tried to add to SC and got the same message. Close and reopen VS, add to SC and it works.

BTW, apparently I have two profiles on Connect.

This can cause VS to hang forcing an end task. Restarting VS will get things working for a very short time.

I noticed that this error started popping up after I cloned two repositories from github. I removed those in the Team Explorer - Connect View and it seems to work now. Nevertheless, this has to be fixed soon.

Follow the steps in this blog post to clean out the crap and that seems to fix it for a while.
