Visual Studio Builds Hang Troubleshooting

Error

Build starts, but doesn’t appear to move forward at all with the process. You won’t be able to close VS unless you manually kill the VS dev environment process (and the MSBuild.exe one for good measure).

Fix(es)

  • Make sure all NuGet endpoints are accessible
    • e.g. make sure to be connected to a VPN if working remotely and the packages are hosted on an intranet
