Background tasks

When lengthy tasks are running, for example, search and replace, VCS update, and so on, JetBrains Rider displays the progress bar. You can bring execution of such tasks to the background by clicking the Background button.

However, when a task of a certain type is brought to the background, you can still view its progress.

As a result, the Background Tasks manager opens, showing all the tasks that are currently running in the background. You can review their progress, and if necessary, cancel the unnecessary tasks by clicking .

When the Auto Show command is checked in Window | Background Tasks, the Background Tasks manager opens automatically every time a task is launched in the background.
