Visual Studio - Slow launching of quick find

Whenever I type in CTRL + F to launch the visual studio quick find it takes about 2 to 3 seconds to show.

This is really annoying and sometimes frustrating as I am used to start typing the search criteria instantly after launching the quick find and since it is still loading I generally start typing in the code by mistake...

This problem started occurring when I decided to switch to Visual Studio 2012. It did not occur on the previous versions...

Any help would be appreciated :)

I saw this advice on another website, maybe it will help you.

It would appear that other people are having the same problem.

Here is the MSDN documentation

Upon installing Visual Studio 2012, I found out that all operations related to TFS (such as adding a new file, check in/out, etc.) were incredibly slow and would freeze the application for quite some time. If this is the case for you, try this solution:

Edit the Visual Studio config file found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config and locate the following line:

<system.net>

Right below (above settings, NOT under), insert the following line of code:

<defaultProxy enabled="false" />

Your visual studio should now be more responsive!
