Description

_From @jeromelaban on January 24, 2019 13:23_

### Steps to reproduce

When build [this solution](https://github.com/nventive/Uno/blob/master/src/Uno.UI.sln), and more specifically [this project](https://github.com/nventive/Uno/blob/master/src/Uno.UI/Uno.UI.csproj) under visual studio, the following message appear:

```
1>------ Build started: Project: Uno.UI (Uno.UI\Uno.UI), Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1>Building target framework: xamarinmac20
1>Building target framework: xamarinios10
1>Building target framework: net46
1>Building target framework: netstandard2.0
1>src\SourceGenerators\Uno.UI.Tasks\Content\Uno.UI.Tasks.targets(53,5): warning : The Uno.UI.Tasks build task is running under devenv.exe you will have to restart Visual Studio to rebuild it.
1>Done building project "Uno.UI.csproj".
1>src\SourceGenerators\Uno.UI.Tasks\Content\Uno.UI.Tasks.targets(77,5): warning : The Uno.UI.Tasks build task is running under devenv.exe you will have to restart Visual Studio to rebuild it.
1>Done building project "Uno.UI.csproj".
```

This message is [produced by this task](https://github.com/nventive/Uno/blob/950bf7f581c13dd99c0bc0215322ba0528f535df/src/SourceGenerators/Uno.UI.Tasks/Content/Uno.UI.Tasks.targets#L106) to warn the user of a devenv.exe locked task.

I tried reproducing using a smaller sample, but could not get it.
