Seed issue on Visual Studio Community 2022

Hello, please try the following workarounds:

1. Ensure that your Visual Studio 2022 and SSIS are the latest version.
2. Repair your Visual Studio via Visual Studio Installer > More > Repair.
3. Please disable or uninstall the other installed extensions under Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed.
4. Go to Tools > Options > Environment > General > uncheck Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance and Use hardware graphics acceleration if available.

Thanks for reaching out. Here are the steps you can take to troubleshoot and improve its speed:

performance improvement steps

1.       update Visual Studio and SSIS extensions

first and foremost, ensure all your tools are up to date. Performance improvements and bug fixes are frequently released.

·         Update Visual Studio 2022: open the Visual Studio installer and check for any available updates for Visual Studio community 2022.

·         Update SSIS extensions: make sure you have the latest version of SQL Server integration services project extensions installed for your Visual Studio version. You can check for updates via extensions> manage extensions in Visual Studio.

2.      Adjust Visual Studio settings

tweaking some internal settings can free up resources and speed up the environment.

·         Disable hardware acceleration: sometimes conflicts with graphics drivers can slow things down. Go to tools> options> environment> general and uncheck the box for “use hardware graphics acceleration if available.”

·         Disable unnecessary extensions: Third party or unused extension can consume memory. Go to extensions> manage extensions and disable any extension you don't actively need for your current SSIS work.

·         Clear the component cache: Visual Studio caches information about components, which can become bloated. Try clearing the MEF component cache located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_xxxxxx\ComponentModelCache (The folder name will be specific to your installation). Close Visual Studio before deleting contents of this folder.

System and Project Optimization

Performance issues often stem from resource constraints or project configuration

1.       optimize system resources

SSIS development, especially with complex packages, can be resource -intensive.

·         Check RAM  & CPU usage: Open task manager while Visual Studio and an SSIS package are open. If your CPU or ram is consistently maxed out, consider closing other resource hungry applications(web browser, other ides etc.) More ram is often the most significant upgrade for development environment.

·         Enjoy sufficient disk space: Load disk space especially on the drive where Visual Studio is installed, can degrade performance.

·         Use an SSD: if your operating system and Visual Studio are on HDD(hard disk drive), upgrading to SSD (solid-state drive) will provide them monumental performance boost for all development tasks.

2.      Configure SSIS package execution

how your SSIS packages are configured can dramatically impact the development experience.

·         Set delay validation to true: for large SSIS packages, validation on every small change can be a huge slowdown. Set the delay validation property to true for the package object and for any specific components(like data flow tasks) that are not dependent on pre execution validation. This forces validation only when the package is run.

·         Work with the smaller packages: if you have one massive package, consider refactoring it into smaller, more modular packages that you can open and work on individually.

Advanced troubleshooting

if the above steps don't resolve the issue you may need to investigate deeper.

·         Repair Visual Studio: use the Visual Studio installer to choose the repair option for your Visual Studio community 2022 installation. This can fix corrupted files without a full reinstall.

·         Report the issue: if the slowness is specific, persistent and reproducible, use the built in “send feedback" feature(help> send feedback> report a problem) within Visual Studio. This sends diagnosis data directly to Microsoft product teams, allowing them to investigate potential bugs in the SSIS tools.
