As long as I have one single Node.js project open in VS, the CPU hits 100% and stays there for prolonged periods, making the complete Windows desktop unusable.
CPU usage will eventually drop to 50%-60 for some brief periods.
This can be reproduced by simply creating any of the Node.js projects, the CPU will immediately go up.
See the following screenshot with a freshly opened instance of VS and a blank Node.js project.
Using :
* Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit)
* Node.js 0.10.36 (64-bit), official installer from Joyent
* Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4
* NOT using Resharper
* Intel i5-3440M 2.70GHz, 8GB memory, standard HDD
I can also provide any further logs or details that you might require.
Thanks,
Jaume
Comments: Hi guys, I would have no trouble having a chat with you guys over Skype or something else. I'm on GMT, should I assume you are pacific time zone? In my case I can reproduce the issue as soon as I create a blank node.js project. Steps to reproduce: * Open Visual Studio, and wait for a few minutes. * Create a blank node.js project (express) * System will almost immediately start spawning node.js processes until I run out of CPU. You can see how on today's try there was quite a few of them http://i.imgur.com/NTmVqmC.png * At this stage I have not done any editing, saving, debugging or anything at all, just created the project * If I manage to close VS (or terminate the devenv process) the node processes will die out automatically. The following are the extensions/components that I have currently installed: Mind that SVN/AnkhSVN was not enabled for the blank projects that I have tried, in case that raises some eyebrows.

Is there a specific version that I should try instead? Or maybe install via chocolatey? Mind that this is my work laptop, so there could be something off with the internal Win 7 build that we use here. VS is from my MSDN subscription. I could also try with my home desktop, but that's a rather different box with win 8.1 Thanks so much for your help
