There are also some steps, like to clean different cache you can follow, but it hasn't solved my problem… Check this blog post.

1. Remove website cache from following location: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
2. Restart IIS: Start → RUN → iisreset
3. Go to Tools → Options and browse all the options and disable all unnecessary options.
4. Clear cache.
5. Remove temp files.
6. Ensure there is enough space in C (System) drive.

Update 2017-01-03
There are also ASP.NET caches in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET framework folders, but this is rather for website or debug cache problems. When in the mentioned folder, search for "Temporary ASP.NET Files" in sub-directories and delete their content. If some files are locked, then iisreset should help.

For those who have this problem sometime in WPF Projects, You should just close XAML Designer process in task manager and after that click the Enable project code button in XAML Designer tab in Visual Studio. By doing that you'll continue working without closing visual studio.

This worked for me: I deleted my .suo and .tss temp files, then tried again. In the past I had created a new blank SLN, and added my projects back to it - that also works.

The problem is fixed ... I make new console project and waited twenty minutes to actually create the project. After creation now every project opens immediately without any problem.
