    It sounds like you might have a problem related to a third party package or add-in. Here are some things to try:

    • Running Visual Studio as an administrator.

    • You can try running devenv /Resetsettings (see here) in a Command Prompt which
      should fix any corrupted settings

    • Try running devenv /ResetSkipPkgs (see
      here)
      which will avoid loading any problem packages.

    • Try running devenv /Safemode (see here). If it works in safe mode then the
      problem is most likely a third party add-ins or package.

    • You can also try Devenv.exe /log <log path>". This will generate a file called ActivityLog.xml which might give you further clues.

    If none of those help then repair Visual Studio from the Control Panel.
