How to disable Microsoft Edge WebView2 and Node.js Server-side Javascript - Visual Studio 2022

Question

As you can see, under Vs2022 process, there are 33 child processes, with a lot of Edge WebView2. It has consumed a lot of memory of my computer. Similar to Nodejs Server-side JavaScript processes. My project is a web API project, and I think it's not necessary to have those processes. I only have 8G Ram, so I would like to VS launch as light as possible. How can I disable unnecessary services of VS2022 like that?

These processes seem to be related to LiveShare (node.js) and IntelliTrace (WebView2). If you turn off those features, those processes should not get started. – Snowdrop

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

I disabled the Live Share 2022 Extension and the processes went away.

From the main menu

• Extensions->Manage Extensions
• choose "Installed"
• select "Live Share 2022"
• click "Disable" (or uninstall)

Restart Visual Studio
