In Visual Studio, click on Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions, then make sure the option Track Active Item in Solution Explorer is unchecked.

In Visual Studio again, click on Extensions -> Resharper -> Options -> Performance Guide and set the option Don't track active item in Solution Explorer to Ignore
