I had a hunch that something had been corrupted with one of my NuGet packages, and completely deleted the \packages subfolder and its contents. When I reopened the solution, all projects loaded successfully without hanging.

Answer 4

Had the same problem. Closed Visual Studio 2010, opened again Running as Administrator, went to Extension Manager, uninstalled Nuget Package Manager, restarted Visual Studio 2010 running as regular user, opened problem solution, solution opened fine.

Nuget Package Manager seems to be the cause. My problem solution is using EF 4.3 Code First which interacts heavily with the Package Manager Console, but that may just be a coincidence.
