I'm hitting an issue where after a couple project loads, VAX starts freezing every time I load my project. I deleted the .vs directory and it fixed it for a while but the issue returned. Not sure how to diagnose this one...

This is in VS 2026

I would start by disabling IDE intellisense, since the IDE intellisense database tends to be written to the .vs directory tree. I would assume you can do this by turning Off:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Languages -> C/C++ -> IntelliSense -> Enable IntelliSense

but I haven't spent that much time playing with VS2026 settings yet.

I would like to think that the IDE intellisense database would not get corrupted this easily, but this is what sounds like what is happening. Or you could try deleting individual files / directories inside the .vs directory tree, to try to narrow down the trigger more tightly. Just because the IDE intellisense database is stored here doesn't mean that it is the only thing stored here.
