vs2010 stuck/freeze in any kind of scrolling

Question

I have an annoying problem in VS 2010 SP1,

when ever I try to scroll up/down with the mouse, or keyboard or scroll bars the VS2010 going crazy and the screen freezes in some parts.

I restarted VS 2010 and even restarted the computer but nothing. I uninstalled VS2010 and vs2010 SP1 and everything related to VS2010.

take a look at the examples:

Upgrade your graphics drivers, or disable hardware acceleration: Tools / Options / Environment / General / Visual Experience. — Roger Lipscombe, Mar 14 '12 at 09:32
@RogerLipscombe I updated my graphics driver and uncheck Visual Experience and still nothing.. — Dor Cohen, Mar 14 '12 at 10:32
By any luck, you arent using any extensions that would require uninstalling the extension ? — squelos, Mar 14 '12 at 12:27

I fix it by changing the Compatibility of devenv.exe, doing the following steps:

right-click the devenv.exe file that located on:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

Choose properties.
On Compatibility tab disable the following:
1. Disable visual themes
2. Disable desktop composition
3. Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

The problem on my system was a screen mirroring driver (VNC) which disabled Aero which caused this issue. Disabling the driver and restarting fixed it.

I'm on VS2017 / Win7 x64 btw.
