vscode: VS Code randomly freezes entire PC for a few seconds multiple times a day
Issue Type: Performance Issue
I’m not sure what the cause is yet or how to reliably recreate it.
Some info:
- I’m running VS Code locally on my Windows 10 machine
but connected to a remote workspace with the remote SSH extension(had this happen for a local workspace so I don’t think the remote extension is at fault here). - I’m working in a large monorepo. I saw this also happen for a much smaller workspace, but currently I think a larger workspace is more likely to cause it.
- This isn’t CPU use - it looks like it’s GPU related. I leave the task manager open all the time to see historical system resource usage and there’s always a huge spike in GPU to 100% and then back down to normal levels (~2%, depending on what I’m doing).
- I’m not doing anything workload intensive, as far as I know. Most of the time I notice this happening when I alt-tab back to VS Code and try to type in the built-in terminal. And the commands are simple, like ‘git status’ or ‘ll’. I’ve also had this happen by simply alt-tabbing back to VS Code and doing nothing else.
- When the freeze happens, all keyboard/mouse input is ignored. The screen doesn’t update. This lasts for a few seconds before everything works again.
- I have a GeForce 1080 Ti graphics card on this machine and updated to the latest graphics drivers just in case.
- It feels like this is a recent regression. Can’t give a date, but feels like it maybe started ~2 months ago.
