I have installed VS2017 and have a simple xamarin project in VS2017. When rebuilding the solution, vs2017 appears to hang.
Restarting VS2017 does not fix the issue. Rebooting the PC does fix it but then after a few builds it will freeze again.
(the code essentially remains consistent - just whitespace changes to try and mitigate code issues)
I have tried leaving the build running for several minutes and even several hours, but once it fails to build it never will, until I reboot the PC.
It does though allow me to cancel the build upon which it dumps a detailed log. (i have changed the build output settings to "detailed").
It does not matter how long I leave the build but when I cancel it, the build output always appears to "freeze" at the same point.
Below are the last few lines of the build output:
1>Done executing task "CreateProperty".
1>Done building target "_ResolveMonoAndroidSdks" in project "Insync2.csproj".
1>Target "_SetupDesignTimeBuildForIntellisense" in file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.Debugging.targets" from project "C:\Users\baldevsandhu\documents\visual studio 2017\Projects\Insync2\Insync2\Insync2.csproj" (target "_GetPrimaryCpuAbi" depends on it):

Has anyone seen this issue before?
I did have VS2015 installed first, but this has since been uninstalled.
