Question

I have read: How do I disable VsHub.exe in the system tray? and https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1919828/hundreds-of-calls-second-to-vshub-and-bro

Answer 1

This is an easier alternative to hide the vshub traffic.

Go to Tools > Fiddler Options > Connections tab and add http://localhost:49155 to the bypass list. This will skip all traffic posted to that URL.

*Edit: Fiddler may need to be restarted after adding to the bypass list.

For me, the fix to stop "spamming" to Fiddler4, instead of a Fiddler filter, which I could have chosen to do, was to change a Visual Studio 2015 option:

Visual Studio 2015 -> Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General -> uncheck/disable "Enable Diagnostic Tools while debugging"

VSHUB.exe service must be the service that assists Diagnostic tools while debugging and is continously pinging your website/webapi/web app you are debugging. I do not need debugging. Diagnostic tools at this time so I just disabled it in Visual Studio

In regards to disabling VSHUB.exe, I was tempted to do that, until I read from someone at Microsoft, its best to not disable it for a better Visual Studio 2015 experience and they add new features to Visual Studio that utilize VSHUB.exe over time:
