Visual Studio keeps showing this message "please wait for an editor command to finish"

My projects on Visual Studio 2019 were working fine. There was an auto-update and since then, I keep getting this annoying message:

Please wait for an editor command to finish.

Is there a solution to this?

I have fixed that problem by deleting .vs folder from project.

Like as Akbar Asghari said, just delete .vs folder from project (located in the root solution, this folder is system hidden).

  • Close the VS or kill the task.
  • Delete the folder .vs
  • Reopen solution and be happy.

When I updated and added some more Rapid XAML extension in VS 2019 I started to get this message. So I deleted these extensions and it solved the problem but I also deleted the .vs folder in the solution I was working in. However this was happening in all the solutions so I think it was the extensions that was causing the issue.

I had a simmilar issue but the other methods did not work.

I have activated GitHub Copilot lately. A while it worked flawlessly (I guess Copilot was watching during the first period of time). Then, the already included AI of VS2022 - namely ItelliCode - and Github were active at the same time and caused crashes.

When I disabled either IntelliCode or Copilot, I had no more crashes.

To disable IntelliCode you can go to Tools->Options->IntelliCode and disable "C# suggestions".

Or disable Copilot: Tools->Options->GitHub->Copilot and set "Enable Globally" to false.
