- Go to solution(or project) folder, rename(or delete) the hidden
.vs,obj,binfolders. - Go to
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_XXXXXpath and rename(or delete) everyComponentModelCachefolders. - Disable some extensions temporarily and try again.(Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed > find and disable).
- Update VS to the latest version from VS Installer.
