Answer 3

Hi @Brown, Jerome ,

Try the following steps:

1. reset all vs settings under Tools-->Import and Export Settings-->reset all vs settings
2. disable any third party extensions under Tools-->Extensions and Updates
3. close VS, delete all cache files under C:\Users\xxx(current user)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
4. you could try devenv /safemode on the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 to start a pure, initial vs to test your solution.
5. Also, try to create a new c++ project to test whether the issue persists on the new one.
6. please repair vs2015 under control panel-->Programs--> right-click on vs2015 and select Change and then click Repair.

Best Regards,

Perry
