Unresponsiveness in Visual Studio

[Laurie]

I'm getting a message 

Extension 'Telerik UserSettings VSExtension 2.1' likely cuased 9 seconds of unresponsiveness. Disabling it may improve your experience. 

According to https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/9fe58a7b-07bd-4efe-b1a5-8dc3bb33ee79/extension-microsoft-integration-services-projects-13-likely-caused-11-seconds-of-unresponsiveness?forum=ssdt, this is due to 15.6.0 of VS2017 displaying this message for extensions that are not loaded async. 

Two Things:

1. Can you update the extension to make it load async?

2. Can I disable it without impacting my work?

Thanks!

Hi Laurie,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We have plans to improve the user experience during loading and your feedback will be taken in consideration when we prioritize our backlog.

Currently the extension of UI for ASP.NET Core has only project templates and functionality for downloading the latest version of the assemblies. If you think these features are no essential for you and the initial unresponsiveness impacts your workflow significantly you can safely remove of disable the extensions from Extensions and Updates (Tools | Extensions and Updates...).

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks. Disabling the extensions seems to help.

You need to address this issue immediately. SSDT/SSIS is unusable with the Telerik VS extensions enabled.

A simple save on a package take multiple minutes, pegs the cpu and runs the devenv.exe memory up to 2GB!!!

VS goes white screen until it finishes up to a couple minutes later.

Latest versions of everything. This is unacceptable!

Hello Travis,

Could you please provide detailed reproduction steps because we are not able to reproduce the problem on our side? We also will need the information from About Microsoft Visual Studio dialog.

I suggest that you open a private support ticket. In this way you will be provided faster support.

I seem to experience the same issues that Travis has reported.  Saves take several minutes, and Memory/CPU spikes during the process.  The Telerik extensions must stay disabled when working with SSIS projects/packages.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us with more information about this issue. I was able to reproduce it and it seems to be caused by the Telerik ASP.NET Core and Telerik ASP.NET MVC extensions. So you should be able to workaround the issue for now by disabling just these two packages. I have logged the issue in our backlog and we will consider fixing it for one of our next releases.

 

Please let us know if you have any other questions or feedback.

I would like to update this thread for those who've encountered this issue, it appears the release of 2019.1.115 has resolved this issue.

I am on Telerik UI for ASP.Net AJAX Extension 2020.2.508.2.    The issue is and has always been there no matter what Telrik version I am on.  It constantly locks up my VS.  You can see in the attached image..  in this case it was 8 seconds.   Sometimes it says 12 seconds or more.  It's also much longer than the reported amount of time that it is locked.

Hi Josh,

Thank you for the additional feedback. We plan to fix that issue in the next major release. It will be helpful if you share a memory dump file to investigate it. It is most convenient to open a support ticket where we will provide detailed instructions.

Hi,

It's 2020 and the problem remains unsolved. I had to disable both Extensions. I've got reports of 196 seconds. During that time VS is totally frozen. I hope this issue will be fix any time.

[Josh]

I started a ticket with them. Shared memory dumps, etc.  They published a new version of Extensions that they said might resolve it.  I installed the update and the problem did not go away.  When I told them that, they apologized and said that they are continuing to make further progress with doing things asynchronous, but could not provide a specific release for when it would go live.  So it sounds like they are aware of the issues and are working on them.  I wish it was faster.  

[David]

Thanks for the info. I have all of them disabled, I only enable them temporarily if I need some specific feature from them and I disable them after finishing. I hope there's any fix soon.

Hi,

I want to apologize for taking more than expected to resolve this issue. We are well-acquainted of the problem. We will notify you when a solution is available.

I just updated to the latest version of the AJAX controls with the latest build of VS2019 and this problem still persists.  I would think that an issue that prevents your customers from using your product would receive a bit more attention.  This thread goes back to March of 2018!

Hello Todd,

We have identified different scenarios that lead to unresponsiveness in Visual Studio some of which are now resolved. An example is the existence of SSDT/SSIS project in the solution. However, not all fixes are released yet.

Please, open an individual support ticket so I can share with you a pre-release version of the extension to give it a try.

Hello,

I would like to follow up with further information that we have invested some time to improve the performance experience with the Visual Studio Extensions for all product suites. The fix is already live and the new extensions' version should be available in the Visual Studio Marketplace.

I would highly encourage you to upgrade and it would be greatly appreciated if you share any feedback about the introduced improvements.

Regards.
