Environment:

• Visual Studio 2026 Version 18.6.1 (May 2026 release)
• Visual Studio language: Japanese
• .NET 10 WPF project
• Telerik UI for WPF 2026.2.520
  

Problem:

Visual Studio freezes frequently while editing XAML when using Telerik UI for WPF 2026.2.520.
The issue does NOT occur with Telerik UI for WPF 2026.1.415.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the "Progress Telerik UI for WPF Extension"
2. Create a new WPF project using the Telerik extension/template (Empty)
3. Open the automatically generated MainWindow.xaml
4. Inside the existing <Grid> element, type:
   <Grid
5. At the moment XAML IntelliSense/code completion is triggered, Visual Studio freezes

Additional information:

• XAML Designer is disabled
• Deleting the .vs folder does not help
• No third-party Visual Studio extensions are installed
• The issue only occurs with Telerik UI for WPF 2026.2.520
• Downgrading to Telerik UI for WPF 2026.1.415 resolves the issue completely
  

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue related to Visual Studio 2026 / .NET 10 compatibility?
