I wasn't impressed with 2017, it just had too much that was flaky when I first installed it - that's why I stuck to 2013 for so long. But ... I have to say than 2019 has (in my experience so far) been pretty good; I've had no problems.
Might be worth upgrading?

Yeah, VS2019 is better and faster (IMO). I have it on my personal workstation and been loving it. But in the office, I need a much stronger reason than I'm annoyed for them to upgrade. 
Maybe I'm just spoiled.

Business case: how much does it cost to upgrade? How much is your time worth in sorting out when it crashes?
If B is greater than A (and it probably is) then there is the justification.

The hard part.
Why do you want the newer version when everyone else is working on the same version as you without any problems.
A is probably much higher than B. The version of a software is often collectively upgraded for everyone working on the project.
As for me, I just switched to VS code to finish my work. Hopefully, there won't much need to debug.

Thanks, I'll need that, looks like I am going to be using VS code for the rest of the project.

They often don't think like that unfortunately. They would rather you struggle!

hmmm, maybe this weekend I'll try it out.
client sites 13 still way plenty ample for the work (and let's face it, way easier to set up when presented a new box to work on),
but using 17 at home [where the real work is done].
was actually considering dropping home back to 13 because 17 wasn't giving me anything better (in fact hell of a lot more annoying with, for instance refactoring suggestions when I'm still only half done in a new class).
home dev all dome in vm's so rolling back/out a new machine is not an issue - way less work than uninstalling then reinstalling.

How much memory does your PC have? Have you looked in the Task Manager to see what your memory usage is like? Are you running Resharper or any other VS extension / plugin / tool?

Yeah, tried a few things like stopping windows from collecting telemetry data, turned off "run in background" option for many apps, the memory usage rarely goes upwards of 60% but the disk usage spikes up.
No plugins.

Hi All,
Looks like the weather will nice in the UK this weekend, I remember Glastonbury, my tent sank! It appears that this weather has caused several problems a friend who was due back yesterday will be back at some point today as his plane was cancelled from Germany(!).

Same here. The whirlybird is checked and sparkling clean and does not know yet that it's going to spend an hour or two in the air this weekend.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
That game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

I was thinking 'Ride of the Valkyrie' but the MASH theme is also appropriate...

I have been playing with the 3D printer too much to finish the Huey. It sits on the other table, still waiting for its olive drab paint coat. The problem is that I would like to add one last very noticable detail, but can't figure out a way to do that without weakening the fuselage too much. If it breaks up in the air, the debris will get into the main rotor and that would tear the whole helicopter apart like an explosion. One second it's flying normaly and one blink of an eye later you only have chunks in a loose formation.
So it#s the bigger one's turn to fly again.

If and when you get the Huey flying I want to see a picture or two! I'm trying to think of the feature that would weaken it... I could see a rouge surfboard might spoil your day...

In the movie they carried the surfboards on the slicks, not on the gunships. The weapons are in the way, but I tried. I recycled the surfboard for another modeller who was building a slick and printed them at a smaller scale for him.

Ahhh, the Horns & Speaker for the Wagner effect, thinking back weren't they a slick thing too. Or is it the weaponry...

Look . [^]. There is not much room for surfboards or speakers between the skids and the M157 rocket launcher and the skids.

Whatever happened to that? It seems to have gone the same way as lunchtime beers.

A group of us went over to the Pub one Friday and the 'elf & safety guy Breathalysed one of us (he passed somehow!). The company has a zero alcohol policy, the parent wing is in the building trade and hate to think of the mess you make with Cement Mixer or a Boom Crane... however when you are debugging traffic control code and hardware

That's becoming ever more common 
The argument seems to be "you never know when someone will have to visit the construction site" but the reality is that you know full well who might have to and it ain't going to be the software development team.
A zero-level policy if it were actually to be rigidly enforced (blood tests in the morning etc.) would probably result in the vast majority of the work-force being fired but obviously that's never going to happen. Boxes need to be ticked, though, so they just put every member of staff's job in permanent jeopardy.
