You know that sinking feeling when lag interrupts your flow? We’ve worked hard to make that a thing of the past. Blazing-fast performance means startup is significantly snappier, and the UI responds so smoothly you’ll barely notice it’s there, cutting hangs by over 50% and giving the IDE a lightweight, effortless vibe, even on massive projects. Whether you’re wrangling enterprise-scale repos or tinkering on smaller codebases, this sets a new bar for getting stuff done. Instinctive repulsion reading this. More on reddit.com

November 12, 2025 - I've been running the Insiders edition since they dropped it a few months ago, and one thing I have noticed is that upgrades are significantly faster than they are for 2022, but that could be due to me having fewer features installed. I've met MadsK in the past and he is definitely passionate about constantly improving Visual Studio.

September 11, 2025 - Microsoft’s Insiders program is always a mix of “finally, they fixed that” and “did we really need this?” Promises of better performance, UI makeovers, and an AI layer sprinkled on top, time to cut through the marketing gloss. Visual Studio got a Fluent UI makeover.

September 10, 2025 - This is what we would have previously called "Preview 2". Note that this is different from the update from yesterday, which was a hotfix. I can't give a precise date, but it should be very soon, and certainly before 18.0 reaches the Stable Channel.
