Why is UWP 10 development so slow?

Question

Does anyone else there have any issues with a very sluggish development experience in VS 2015 writing apps for the Universal Windows Platform 10? Compiling, debugging, even

Answer 1

Just my 2 cents, but i recently discovered that there is a big issue when working on UWP project.

I was working on my project with Xamarin in order to have an app compatible on Android / iOS / WP8 and UWP.

But working in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 (With W10) recently, i had very slow performances, a very laggy interface, Build, Debug, XAML, everything were very slow.

Then i just discovered something very awful: If you set your UWP project as the starting project of your Solution, Visual Studio 2015 become slow as hell ! I don't what is the real issue but this has been a real issue for me!

I set my startup project on an other project in the solution, other than UWP and WP8. If i need to debug, i launch them using right click in the solution explorer, then Debug.

Since then, VS2015 has no performance issue for me.
