Why VS compiles too slow

even very little changes in code compile about 5 - 10 minutes. Is something wrong with my pc or with VS? My system: GTX 1660 8 gb; Intel core i5; 8 gb ram.

Are you compiling only your project? (make sure it’s name is in bold in the solution explorer). If it’s not then right click it and make it the default project.

The thing that seems the worse part of your setup is the low amount of ram. Are you rebuilding or building the project. Rebuild will clear the previous files and build from scratch.

Rebuild = Clean + Build
Build = incremental build (should be faster)

The other thing that may improve build speed with many files is the use of an SSD.
