Visual Studio 2010 Hangs in debug mode - intermittently - Microsoft VIsual Studio is Busy

[Neil M. Johnson]

Over the last year, my version of Visual Studio 2010 (10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel) has started going through 'bouts' of hanging after you start up the program under development. It does this in Safe Mode, it does it when all the breakpoints are cleared out, it does this after the projects have been cleaned and rebuilt. The strange thing is that it will happen for a few days and then stop. I might get a month without problems, and then the same problem starts to re-occur.

The behaviour is the same: looping page faults where 4k to 32k will be added and then removed from the working set over and over again. Sometime I/O Other will increment. There are no prompts or dialog boxes open. It just hangs. I cannot afford to upgrade at this time and in fact, do not want to spend thousands of dollars for the most recent IDE that will in all probability continue to hang. Does anyone have any useful suggestions? I have looked at a bunch of different solutions on the web including deleting the database, etc. Nothing works. My productivity is shot for several days until the product stabilizes again. Is there any way to fix this problem?
