Hah, I forgot about that. Will give it a try (If it's not doing it already, I think it might be.)

I rarely feel a need to comment but I had to jump in on this one. Please understand, I am not excusing Microsoft and Visual Studio does have some problems and flaws. In this case though, I doubt Visual Studio/Microsoft is the complete problem.
You are correct about some delay, it should be about 1 to 10 seconds and no more, and that is on my development machine. The machine is running 16G ram with a quad core processor at 3.6G. That is my work dev machine. My home dev machine is about half that and is at least 6 years old. My home dev machine has the same delay time. The problem I suspect you are encountering is with where you working directory is located. I used to encounter this problem when the default working directory is set to a location that is, in reality, a networked drive. This is a common habit at most work location as the average use is set so their personal working folders go to a networked drive where it is backed up into the corporate backup. At least in my experience that is common and how most work computers are set. When you do this with Visual Studio, which uses the default Documents folder, for its default working directory you end up compiling all of your resources across a network and through a network drive. I have, and I mean for years, found I get your exact same problems whenever this is the situation. As such, I moved my working directory to the local hard drive and the problems go away.
My standard when I set up a development machine is I move all my development to C:\Development for a folder name. Within that folder I have the year of Visual Studio I am using, i.e. 2012, 2015, 2017 or whatever, than each project in the year. It is easier to organize locally and easier to find everything. If your problem is what I think it is, than it should also eliminate the really slow drag you are seeing and the false starts. Like I said, this is just what I suspect is the problem but it is what I usually run into. I am also not excusing Microsoft. It is a really stupid problem to have and it shouldn't be an issue but it does seem to be. Try moving where the applications are for just one, as a test, and you can see if it is worth changing all of the settings in the option menu.

VS 2017 is a lot faster - if you're on 2015, I think you can upgrade and still work with projects created in 2015.

I get the following configured
use a Local IIS, not Express
disable Browser Link
no need to have it running in debug to View the web site
If Server changes (cs, controllers) - then build and will take a few seconds for IIS to re load site
If only client side (cshtml, javascipt, css, html) changes - no need to build. Simply Save file, refresh web page, done.
I use chrome - in dev tool network tab, make sure disable cache is on, else that refresh page might not get the changes.

Sounds like you got System's problems that have nothing to do with visual studio. If the company is encrypting a non-SSD hard drive it will make the system unusable. Virus scanners in network protection will also cause problems. You may also want to check for a proxy server. If none of these suggestions Help, I suggest getting another machine and do a clean install of windows and visual studio and start from there. Do not let your ops people do this as they will install all the security crap and hard drive and encryption that will make machine unusable. alSo keep the machine off the domain.Try loading up your hello world site then and see where you are. This is the only way to isolate whether the problem is something with your solution for a problem with the way your machines are built and configured.

I know you said you were completely local on your project but a mention for something I learned, in case it exists: any references to dlls in your project that point to a network location actually slowed things down way more than imagined. So, if you have some reusable libraries that are maybe out on a network share, that could help (to move locally).

A few days ago they proposed removing messageboxes from javascript[^]. But a few minutes ago I got this popup[^] in Gmail.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yup. Especially since it was a false positive.

And I really thought that the extensive use of Klingon Battlecruisers[^] (plus the attempts to make them even more 'interesting', like in the linked article) are slowly restricted to VB 6 traditionalists zealots.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Jeeze, that is really Awful!
Avoiding mention that the "dialog" is actually a "window", or the fact that people don't just blindly dismiss message boxes, I don't think I could name one person who would be happy to be "treated" to such an "improvement".
Has he taken on a major role in ms development, since then? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

I have found even better ideas, like having to answer three multiple choice questions about the message correctly to get the message box closed.
Message boxes are ok, but only if they have something really important to bring to the user's attention. Everything else is just annoying and should be shot down like the Klingon battlecruiser, right when it decloaks and before it can raise its shields. The simplest way to avoid the entire problem is to earn the user's trust that any interruption will be important.

Just because they are suggesting we move away from a technology does not mean they have to have done it everywhere first, does it?
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The rams always get thrown out for starting fights; they keep telling patrons to butt out.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
