This happened After updating Visual Studio to 16.2.0:

Start Debugging > Building started > Building succeeded > App launches [Suspended]

enter image description here >

Loading... [Stuck/VS instance blocked]

enter image description here

Other projects run just fine, and so does running without a debugger.

What's causing that and how to fix it?

UPDATE:

This turned out to be a problem with the designer (or related to it). Right now, if i open the project it gets stuck at loading designer. I came across this post and it had a workaround in the accepted answer which was to remove the project.sln file and use the .csproj file instead. This also fixed getting stuck while starting debug.

I tried looking up this issue with no luck finding an answer.

  • @mjwills Well, it's not reproducible. As i mentioned, It only happens for this particular single project. – Explisam Jul 29 '19 at 02:16
  • So it is **reproducible** - with that one project. So now you should copy that project, and try and make it **minimal** (i.e. remove as much as possible to the point where it is as small as possible, but the problem still occurs. – mjwills Jul 29 '19 at 02:17

This answer fixed the problem by simply deleting the .vs folder in the project folder.
