Its been a few months but I have finally been able to get the XAML Designer to work. As @peterfaraday mentioned, the XAML Designer only works if you install Visual Studio on the System Drive (C: in my case) instead of using any other drive. After uninstalling Visual Studio keep the following things in mind...

• If your system partition is small, look to increase the space as the installation can take a lot of space based on the components selected.
• If you had already installed VS on any other drive, while reinstalling you will not be able to change the default installation directory.

This is because your initial path of installation was saved as in the registry. I tried solving this issue by following these steps. In my case I had found multiple keys in the registry and hence "Reset this PC" (Windows 10) by allowing only for my personal files to remain. This cleared out all the registry keys and I was able to install VS back on the C: drive, resulting in the XAML Designer finally working (Please note that resetting your pc will remove any applications installed on your machine)
