High CPU usage in Visual Studio 2017

Visual studio 2017 has a High CPU usage after using it for some time.

The issue is very annoying, since the work computer starts to get very slow and unresponsive.

I fixed my problem by performing the following steps:

  1. Close all the visual studio open instances
  2. Delete all the .suo files from the visual studio solutions folders
  3. Remove all the .vs hidden directories from the visual studio solutions folders

Use this solution with caution, so you only delete the referred files or folders.
