my laptop is old, but it has 16 GB ram, visual studio compile other projects rapidly, but when i compile unreal it takes forever to compile a single cpp file, i think for some reason it freezes or halts in between. I dont see my CPU doing anything, it’s like 0-5 % most of the time.
I am using 2019 enterprise. I’ll try 2022 preview thanks
To really cope with this you need to install a 64GB pagefile.sys on a Solid State Device.
try defragment the system drive
Installing an SSD as your project space with the VS2022 community, free and building UE5 EA as above will help immensely
