Getting a lot of hangs in VS2015 debugger

[Shane MacLaughlin]

Getting regular Visual Studio is busy messages which take ~ 5 minutes to complete in VS2015. Specifically, debugging a 64 bit version of my app with Edit and Continue enable after choosing to ignore an exception, it stalls, arrives at the point in the code the exception took place, and then stalls again and continues to do so until I terminate the debugging session. If I delete everything out of my project folder other than source, project and solution file, the problem is corrected but tends to reappear a few weeks later.
