ccrefgen runs on startup and when switching build configurations

Question

I have noticed that when I switch build configurations or load a solution in Visual Studio, that it takes a good long time to finish. (I'm using VS2012, so I see this happening with a progress bar). Task manager reports that "ccrefgen" is running on all my projects, one at a time, even though I'm not asking it to build anything.

What setting is causing this build to happen? Is there a way to stop it?

Answer 1

ccrefgen should run only after a project is compiled. Can you put your solution into a zip file and send it to me? Does it reproduce every time?
