Error adding a Commandbar (Visual Studio Store App)

Angelique den Hartogh 1

Hello :)

For my School project, I need to create a Store App in Visual Studio 2013 (Visual Basic -> Store Apps -> Blank (Windows) (Visual Basic) )

Now I started creating an app, a test app, no references all fresh and I need to add the CommandBar but I came across this error:

Then I clicked on "Reload" expecting the error to go away but this occurs.

Whenever I add the CommandBar, It takes a really long time for it to appear. Visual Studio 2013 express freezes until it's been added then the error shows up.

Some information:

I'm using Windows 10
Visual Studio 2013 (also update 5)
It happens on 3 different computer
I tried to reinstall Visual Studio
It occurs with new projects and older projects where the commandbar worked before
It happens when i drag it from the Toolbox And when I type it in by myself
Adding a button or something from the toolbox works fine.

Can someone please help me?

Instead of reinstalling Visual Studio you can also install another, modern Visual Studio 2019.

Thank you for your reply. I also use VB 2019 but I don't have a UWP template to choose.
When I choose to search for more templates, I couldn't find it either.
