Hi,
I have upgraded my Visual Studio 2022 to the latest version 17.6.1. Since then when I try to Run\Build project it hangs and I cant do anything to cancel the build except by ending VS from task manager. Please help. This is critical and I cant continue my development.
Thanks

Same problem with VS 17.6.2. I have deleted the files. And the problem still persists. I have to restart computer every time-

I have a similar problem going from version 17.5.4 to 17.6.2
New computer running windows 11, installed VS 2022 community version 17.6.2 and tried to run solution generated in VS2022 community version 17.5.4 on a windows 10 computer. In debug, error generated on windows 11 computer but not on windows 10 computer.
Error;
System.InvalidOperationException: 'Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'StatueBox' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.'
Any possible reasons for the problem?

The same with 17.5.4
I noticed, that the main output (EXE) from the app is hold by the System process (PID 4 on my machine) and can't be released without the reboot.
There is no problem with other projects (DLL) in the solution.

I have the same problem with VS 17.6.5, but it started sometime this spring. Don't know the exact version or date, because it happens randomly. The only way to temporarily resolve the problem is to restart Windows. Killing VS/MSBuild/dotnet-processes makes no difference.
But it might not be only Visual Studio. I get the same problem when I try to build the project with dotnet. But at least dotnet is hinting that it is a file copying problem:
❯ dotnet build <redacted>.csproj

The last line keeps repeating forever.
(I had the same problem with .NET 7 before I installed .NET 8 preview.)

I started to have this problem when I upgrade my visual studio from version 17.6 to 17.7.
The issue disappeared after I force to close the program, but somehow it still hangs after several clean/ rebuild actions.

I had a similar problem with VS2015 and none of the solutions I found solved the problem.
When trying to run any code using the Start button inside VS, it would hang with the message "Microsoft Visual Studio is Waiting for an Operation to Complete". VS then had to be ended from task manager.
After much trial and error, I found that disabling the service "Visual Studio Standard Collector Service" fixed the issue.
I know this issue is old, but hopefully this gives people one more thing to try if nothing else has worked.

For me, I had opened another solution yesterday. This had added a NuGet package that VS was trying to load from my first solution. I could see and remove this package by right clicking the Solution in Solution Explorer, Manage NuGet Packages For Solution. Then clicking the cog/settings icon in the top right corner. In NuGet Package Manager, Package Sources I could uncheck the unwanted package and click OK. Now I could clean and rebuild my solution again. Prior to that I had also deleted bin folders in the projects that was stalling the cleaning, in an attempt to clean manually. Not sure if this had any effect.

I have not had this issue since using Visual Studio 17.7 preview 2.
Correction. I still have the issue using Visual Studio 17.7 preview 2.

We have also the same issue here.
The strange think, it's that we all have different version. Even someone has Visual Studio 2019.
It's look to happen randomly, but it's not very nice to have to reboot the computer.

By deleting files in folder "\bin\Debug\net6.0" helped me a bit to rebuild the application.
I tried deleting the "\bin\Debug\net6.0", but something was keeping it locked and lock hunter couldn't even kill the process that was keeping it open. It looks like it was MyServiceName.exe, but I couldn't find that exe running anywhere.

Agreed with @Brandon Tull - the earlier compiled exe won't delete, rename, etc., and cannot find anything tying it to a process
I have the same issue with Brandon Tull. I cannot delete the EXE file until I reboot the PC.
Another finding is only some solutions have this issue when I use VS 2022. It means I can use VS 2022 to build most of solutions without this issue. But I cannot build some special solutions.
One possible cause is the NuGet package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets 6.0.1. In my solution, I guess I has this issue after I use Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets to manage the secrets. Firstly, I remove this package from the code, and the solution does not hang anymore. When I add it back, I find I use Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration 7.0.0, so I think 6.0.1 is incompatible. I upgrade Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets to 7.0.0. It works now.

I had the same problem.
Upgrading VS, and reinstalling haven't helped.
The issue disappeared after restarting the computer.
One thing I have noticed is that .Net 6 web apps take a long time to compile (3+ minutes) sometimes

I have the same problem on 17.6.2 - when I first open my project, I can build/rebuild/clean without any problems. But, after running the project, all of those operations hang. The only way to resolve it is to reboot the machine. This is seriously impacting my work!
Have you tried downgrading (and then possible re-upgrading)? I feel like something gets "stuck" in the temp files and gets "cleared out" on install. I have not tried a "Repair" but that may also work.
