I'm using VS2022. This also happens in 2019.
While typing there are frequent lags from the time a key is pressed to when you see the results. This only seems to happen in VS. Other Windows apps are not doing this.
It could be an extension. Is there a way to confirm that? Anyone else seeing this?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

In my opinion... it's doing too danged much in the background. Checking syntax and rubbish like that, which I didn't ask it to do.
I prefer VS 2010 -- the last usable version -- when I use VS at all.

Do you have Resharper?
Or some other 3rd party extensions?
Try disable them all!

Everyone uses Resharper at work. Install it & your life will change, they said.
It certainly did. I had to wait 3 seconds after each keystroke for the hints & helps to popup.
Uninstalled!

I experience a lag when opening new type of files, and that is obviously because the 'background' loading of all the needed libraries for the new type...
No such lag while typing I can see...

Despite what some luddites may say about newer versions, VS2022 has been very responsive for me since I first installed it last November - I've liked this version a lot. MS has been doing some really good things with VS lately.
A couple of versions ago (VS2017 I think) I noticed VS getting very laggy for me all the time. At the time I used Resharper. I disabled that and everything was nice and responsive again. So I wrote a small extension that did a couple of things I mostly was using Resharper for, and uninstalled Resharper and haven't looked back. My colleagues have done the same - enough of the really useful Resharper functionality has been added to vanilla VS to make living without Resharper doable.
My first suggestion is that if you have Resharper, disable that and see if your issues go away. Resharper has gotten quite bloated over the years.
If there's some Resharper functionalities that you really need, but only from time to time, one of my colleagues uses my extension and then just keeps Resharper disabled, enabling it only when he needs to use those functionalities, then disables it again.
If you're not using Resharper, then try disabling all extensions, see if the issue goes away, then if so, re-enable extensions one at a time until you get the lag.
If it's not extensions, one of my colleagues had issues with VS lag due to the company-installed anti-virus doing constant checks against some VS-used files that get changed frequently by it, which would lock the files when doing the checks, causing the lag. Might be worth checking that out and getting some folders excluded from the antivirus check if so.

That's hitting me hard, and not only with VS

It happens to me w/ some regularity. I always utilize the latest Preview version. I have few extensions installed. The swirling blue circle I quite dislike. Why everything does not happen instantly I do not understand. Maybe it is my pig of a machine.

Preview versions tend to have a lot of debugging and telemetry enabled, which can cause them to be inconsistent in their responsiveness to keyboard and mouse inputs.

I wonder how many of us do it? I do.
I frequently mentally compare code I see with what I would have written myself, and I do so not to critique other people's code (though it happens) so much as to understand myself and the way I write. Introspection after all, isn't automatic, be it with code or otherwise.
I've noticed some pretty interesting things in the process. I don't know how much the activity has actually influenced my coding style. The biggest change to the way I code that has ever happened to me happened in 2018. I don't solve problems by breaking them into their component pieces anymore. I attack problems more ... holistically? now. It generally makes for efficient, but less intelligible code. The way I think changed. Some ways for the better, other ways not, but it impacted how I write software, among other things.
Cons: Compared to much of the code I see in the wild, my functions are long, my solutions aren't as readable, some things are so instinctual to me I forget to comment.
Pros: My code generally works, and does so well when it does. In some ways, cutting down on the abstractions leads to simpler code, or at least the surface area/API of said code is simpler, if I'm making a library for example.
I see the above as a net win, but only marginally so, and maybe most of that small net advantage can be chalked up to natural, incremental evolution rather than my 2018 watershed event.
I enjoy thinking about this stuff, but I'm not sure if it's beneficial, or me just passing time.
Your thoughts?
