Hi all
Visual Studio takes a lot of extra time loading symbols for external dlls which I'd rather not load. I have fiddled with my symbol settings in VS2008 and these settings seem to be affecting VS2010
How do I stop it loading 3rd party symbols?
I've tried:
- devenv /resetuserdata
- Tools > Options > Debugging > Symbols (I can't remove or uncheck the pdb file location of: "Environment Variable: _NT_SYMBOL_PATH")
- I've cleared the above location like so: set _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=
actually this made a huge difference (it was previously SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols) - I've deleted everything from: %localappdata%\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\
The next thing would be a VS re-install, failing that an OS re-install, but if it saves me 14 seconds every time I press debug it would be worth it.
