RAD Studio stopped working - delphi

Periodically as I work on XE8 under Windows 10 64 bit the user interface will stop working and through up the dialog "Embarcadero RAD Studio for Windows has stopped working". This requires a restart with loss of editing to that point.
It doesn't seem to be associated with any one task I am performing except that I have a rather large project loaded and am looking at the source code with the editor.
Any ideas on this?

What is Visual Studio 2019 doing in the background on idle?

I have been constantly bugged by this, sometimes this causes my entire PC to freeze up and lag, I don't really know what its doing in the background. I normally don't close Visual Studio as it takes a good bit of time to compile and load the solution. So I leave it running until I have to work in code. see the screenshots below.
I don't have any window open for Visual Studio other than the main screen and it is connected to our TFS/ Azure DevOps server yet every few minutes I would see the process spike up to 30% and it will cause a lag to everything I am doing e.g. working in a Word document or sending an email.

I am not using any extensions other than SQL Server Integration Services, Reporting services and Wix Toolset rest of them I've disabled

IIS Express gets stuck and css styles sometimes not being applied when debugging an ASP.NET MVC application from Visual Studio 2013

I am debugging an ASP.NET MVC app from Visual Studio 2013. When I start the debug process from Visual Studio, IIS Express where app is hosted gets stuck (my app is not started). It often happens to me. In this situation, I manually stop IIS Express from the tray icon. Even stopping IIS Express from the tray icon I often need to stop manually the debugging from Visual Studio through the stop button. Once debugging is stopped, If I try to debug again it does not work, well, sometimes works and sometimes not, it is random. I have verified that if I clear all browser history and cookies, it works in most cases except for some time. Also I have observed that Visual Studio 2013 takes a long time to boot IIS Express where my ASP.NET MVC app is hosted. Finally, I have observed that my ASP.NET MVC app hosted in IIS Express sometimes is not being displayed correctly when debugging from Visual Studio, I mean, it is displayed without css styles being applied, it seems like css styles are missed. In this case, if I stop debugging and start it again it works.
So How can I improve or solve these kind of weird issues?

This is a quite strange issue and l suggest you could try these suggestions
Suggestion
1) delete all caches under C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache, C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp and C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache.
2) close VS Instance, delete .vs hidden folder,bin,obj folder under the physcial path of the solution and then reopen your project
3) If you have IntelliTrace, please disable Enable IntelliTrace under Tools-->Options-->IntelliTrace-->General.
4) try another port like 56000 by right-clicking on the project-->Properties-->Web--> project url.
5) disable any third party extensions by Tools-->Extensions and Updates or just use devenv /safemode in developer command prompt for vs2013.
6) try to reinstall IIS on the control panel and if your IIS is not 10.0, I suggest you could download and use it.
In addition, VS2013 is too old and Microsoft does not continue to maintain it. So l suggest you could download and use the latest VS2019. It has more optimization and stronger performance than the previous VS and fixes some remaining issues from previous releases.

Delphi XE5 incremental compiling

Does this feature exist in this IDE. WIKI says that i can
Embarcadero Delphi, previously Borland Delphi
Something like
edit and continue in visual studio 2015
But i cant find how to turn this on. If i make any changes in breakpoint stop IDE asks to rebuild project.
Also i checked a lot of SO answers and tried to find something on NET.
How can i enable this? I use XE5, but soon it will be 10, so if feature doesnt exists in my version of IDE, please say when it was added.
It is so annoying to rebuild project every time i change one line of code.
Delphi has nothing like Visual Studio's Edit and Continue feature.

Visual Studio 2015 not taking forever to display project

Something really weird is happening with my installation of Visual Studio 2015. When I just opened VS and run the project, it deploys normally. However, when I start to change things i.e. html, js, etc and hit refresh to see my new changes, after a while the browser takes FOREVER to load the page again.
This also happens when I change server code, suppose the project is running normally, then I stop the debugger, change my code, and launch the project again.
I have Windows 10 installed in my machine, Visual Studio 2015 Update 1.
I don't know what could be happening, and I have googled it without much success. Does somebody know a way I could inspect what is happening when this occurs? Any tools?

Delphi 2007 on Windows 7 closes debugger opens

I installed Delphi 2007 on a Windows 7 system. When I click on the Run button I see the debugger screen open and then the entire application (Delphi) closes. I have tried running two programs, one being a simple single-button-with-message type of test program.
I can successfully compile the program in 2007.
I also have XE2 installed on the same machine and it runs properly.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled. After the reinstall I tested without reloading any of the 3rd party products.
The same computer runs 2007 and XE2 under Windows XP (dual boot configuration)
My searches have not turned up any similar symptoms. I need ideas on how to diagnose further or a possible workaround.
Thanks.
Are you using a x64 version of Windows 7?
If yes, you need the hotfix.
It is already explained here:
