Currently using Visual Studio 2026
Version: 18.1.1

Visual Assist
installer 2598_0
Version 10.9.2598
(Only recently changed to this version, most experience was with VA version 10.9.2597.0, though issue appear to persist.)

The current freezes last seconds to a couple minutes (30 sec to 3 minutes is not unusual). VS does not bring up the message acknowledging a delay and reporting it. Nothing is logged in Help -> Visual Studio Performance Manager.

This is with a large solution with normal C++ projects (Also have CMake cross platform projects, but this issue is not specific to those.)

I have not isolated the issue, except to observe it often re-occurring with some projects or files I'm currently working on.
Disabling VA causes the issue to completely disappear at present.
Have seen some form of freeze occur with these interactions:

. try entering project properties
. try viewing header files (go to #include file)
. try hover tab name for full path

During some delays, a message box flashes briefly with "loading document", often multiple times.

This is most frustrating, so any help to identify and fix the issue would be appreciated.
