Visual Studio becomes unresponsive in "busy" state when adding specific items to ASP.NET MVC 4 projects -


when attempting add new item of specific type (i.e. add->new controller...) asp.net mvc 4 project, visual studio becomes unresponsive phrase "preview not available item type" in status bar. @ point application officially "running" according windows, consuming negligible cpu cycles, , not using additional memory. although, "running," neither application nor window respond user input, task manager can close via end task button on application tab. me find proper solution. thank you.

some workarounds suggested various developers follows:

  1. you can create new solution in vs2012, import of existing code files original solution. add => controller... start functioning again.
  2. select add => new item context menu, choose mvc 4 controller. however, don't of scaffolding wizard.
  3. run devenv.exe /resetskippkgs http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241276(v=vs.100).aspx
  4. disable "visual studio hosting process" in each executable project's properties (build tab, way @ bottom)
  5. disable intellitrace on debug in tools, options, intellitrace
