EF Core PowerTools is causing slowdown in .NET Framework 4.7.2 solution

[Montago]

I have a .NET Framework 4.7.2 solution which is slowed down by this extension.

The solution is an Outlook Addin + MVC5 website with Swagger API + Microsoft API Helppage.

The slowdown doesnt happen for other .NET Framework 4.7.2 projects and doesn't happen with .NET 6-7 projects neither.

There are 2 EDMX files in the web project, both created with the native EDMX tool in Visual Studio.

I'm running Visual Studio 2022 version 17.6.5 (newest stable release)

Can your share the project files (privately?) or a public repro - I do some inspection of them to determine which menu items to show, and they must be special in some way.

How si the solution "slowed down" - the project context menu or what?

[Montago]

It's Visual Studio itself which is slowed down.
I dont use EF Core PowerTools for this project.

I'm not sure if i can share the project - it's quite finicky to get up and running and contain sensitive code..

I "just" need the .csproj files (basically the header of them) - to see if I can reproduce. Otherwise it is very hard for me to provide support for you.

It seems that the slowdown only occurs when right clicking on the Project to open the context menu.

I'll send you the csproj file

I am unable to reproduce - how do you determine that it is Power Tools causing the slowdown? Maybe a screen share session would help?

[Montago]

#1 - Visual studio complained about EF Core powertools as the main cause of slowdown (while computer was on battery)

#2 - Disabling the extension solved the slowdown.

Find me on MS Teams (mk@autoit.dk) and we can do a screen share

After some investigation and help from you erik,

I found the cause of the problem is that THIS distinct project has 600 MB / 90.000 node_modules installed.

After deleting them, the context menu has no longer any problems.

So i guess its a mix of Visual Studio 2022 and the EF PowerTools Extension acting funny (and maybe ESET antivirus)
