Since I installed TFS on Windows 7 64 bit, I can't figure out why it very often hangs, with apparently no reason:

  • no evident anomaly on task manager or procexp: CPU usage rate low, a lot of free memory
  • Event Viewer is empty

Did anyone else experience this?
How can I improve the performance of the system?

Some things to try. Disable anti-virus. Reinstall TFS. Which version of TFS are you using? – murisonc Mar 8 '11 at 0:34

Fire up Process Explorer, find your hung process and try and work out what it's blocked on. It will hopefully give you some pointers to the underlying cause.

with procexp I meant Process Explorer. – onof Mar 9 '11 at 7:52
If you have never used any of the Sysinternals tools before I would take a look at Mark Russinovich's webcast Case of the unexplained found here: bit.ly/hIWIM0. It has some great problem solving logic using the sysinternals tools – jgardner04 Mar 9 '11 at 15:49
