VS 2012 'not responding'

I've just gotten back to VS/VM and Arduino work after a few months away.  As far as I can tell, VS/VM are all up to date, but it seems Visual Studio has a 'hair-trigger' and can drop into 'Not Responding' very easily, and quite frequently.  (Win 7 64b) I have to bring up Task Manger to end it and restart.  

Any known things that may be causing this?  A real time-sink!   Shocked

Guess this is an odd one - no comments so far!  I have done a "repair" install of Update #4 for VS 2012 - but still seems to 
'not respond' on the upload of a sketch...  I have to keep the task manager open all the time now to recover quickly.   Undecided

Hi

Sorry for the delay. It is a strange one and sounds like a windows/usb issue. 

Is the serial monitor open when you try to upload?

Thanks

No - it just seems that after a number of successful "F5" operations, suddenly VS doesn't like one and it goes to sleep... "Not Responding".  I just keep the Task manager open - kill it off and restart.  There is a tell-tale delay when the upload is in progress... then the black boarders appear round each open panel...   Sad

Hi Alan,

There have been a number of improvements in this area for the next release due before the end of the year. I hope you find they fix this issue. Sorry for the hassle.
