Has anyone ever experienced a problem with Visual Studio that during compilation, Visual Studio launches an insane amount of msbuild.exe program (currently about 90 in memory) and never shut them down? The compilation then fails without any errors. The MSBuild program stays in memory after with an equals amount of console application. I restarted my computer but it didn’t fix the problem and I don’t remember installing any updates to Visual Studio nor to Windows. This problem started occurring yesterday.<br />
<br />
Any tips would be appreciated.<br />
