ReSharper 2025.2.1+ supports Visual Studio 2026 Insiders from day one through collaboration with Microsoft. VS 2026 introduces backward compatibility for VS 2022 extensions, but ReSharper's exe-based installer required a new Migration Assistant vsix extension to enable automatic migration. The combination of VS 2026's performance optimizations (faster solution loading) and ReSharper's Out-of-Process mode (61% reduction in UI freezes) delivers a more responsive development experience, especially for large solutions.
