Answer 1

I had same problem and I tried all above solutions but none one them worked for me. When I checked Tools->Extensions and Updates->Online, I saw a few updates available. I chose one of them and after restart, Visual Studio 2013 back to normal.

Answer 2

I had same problem and i also tried all above solutions but unable to fix it, even i re-install and repair Visual Studio. After 5-6 hours finally I got solution. Run Window + R and type below command. It will fix your problem. Thanks

"devenv.exe /ResetUserData"

Answer 3

If all above answers doesn't solved the problem. Try to disable the internet connection and then open the VS; if it opens without the error, It possibly means that the one causing the problem is the Instance ID / User account. Logout your microsoft ID (still without internet) and then plug the internet again and try to open the VS.

This worked for me.
