VS 2026 crashing on Save with ReSharper enabled.

I created a support ticket for this (8887611) issue and got a confirmation email but when I click on the link to the support ticket I get a 404 not found?   Anyway ….

Doesn't matter what mode I run ReSharper in Out-of-Process or In-Process it will frequently cause VS to go unresponsive as soon as I click on the “Save All" button in the VS toolbar.   This is ONLY started happening with the ReSharper version 2026.x.x.  I've tried all the recommended solutions except #4 source control (pointless to proceed without source control) and NONE have solved the issue:

Recommended Fixes

Try these steps in order to stabilize your environment:

  1. Clear ReSharper Caches: Corrupted caches often trigger exceptions during auto-save or background compilation.
    • Go to Extensions > ReSharper > Options > Environment > General.
    • Click Clear caches. Restart Visual Studio.
  2. Disable Out-of-Process Mode (if active): If you are using ReSharper’s new out-of-process engine, it may be unstable on certain configurations.
    • Go to Extensions > ReSharper > Options > Environment > Products & Features.
    • Uncheck Run ReSharper in a separate process and click Apply to run in-process
  3. Toggle Solution-Wide Analysis: Constant background analysis on save can overwhelm system memory.
    • Go to Extensions > ReSharper > Options > Code Inspection > Settings.
    • Uncheck Enable solution-wide analysis temporarily to see if the crashes stop.
  4. Disable Visual Studio Git/Source Control Integration: Source control plugins trying to lock files immediately upon a ReSharper-assisted save can cause a hard crash.
    • Go to Tools > Options > Source Control > Plug-in Selection and set it to None.
  5. Exclude Folders From Antivirus: Windows Defender or other antivirus software actively scanning changing cache directories during a save operation can lock files and force Visual Studio to crash.
    • Add the ReSharper cache folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\Transient) and your project directory to your antivirus ignore list.

I've also tried the standard other options:

Visual Studio 2026 repair

OS - sfc /scannow  and DISM options

The ONLY option that prevents VS crashing is if I disable ReSharper.  I can't continue working like this so I need a solution, if I can't get one then I'll stop using ReSharper and cancel my subscription … not trying to be dramatic just a fact as I got a million other tasks on my plate and debugging ReSharper isn't one of them.

Attached a Zip file of all the logs created for today that cover the VS crashing time period.

Hi, thank you for your time and feedback!

I see a lot of exceptions from Telerik.Blazor.VSPackage.BlazorCompletionCommandHandler in your logs, but they are probably not related to the hang. Unfortunately, the logs do not make it clear why this happened.

Could you please collect a PerfView snapshot as described here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/SUPPORT-A-2191  (use the PerfView_until_S_pressed.cmd script).

Thanks
