Answer 1

I got this error when I open a project targeted on Windows 10.0.10240, I solved this by right click the project in the solution explorer and then choose Reload project.

Answer 2

Had the same issue after making some changes to .csproj. My .csproj was configured to use IIS which wan't installed. Make sure that your .csproj doesn't contain bad parameters/non-extisting references/urls.

Answer 3

I'm getting this in a Single Page Application Web project. It was because I had the project setup to use IIS (not express).

Visual Studio needs to be opened using the right click on Visual Studio and choose Run as Administrator.

Hope this helps someone to save time.

Answer 4

I faced this problem recently. The procedure below worked for my solution:

1. Right click the project which is not loading, in VS Solution Explorer
2. Click on Remove and confirm the removing process
3. Right click the Solution and select Add > Existing Project
4. Browse to the .csproj file in the project folder

If the above procedure does not work, then check the .NET targeted framework. May be Framework Incompatibility must be also one reason of the problem

If it shows error while you perform above steps then please check this

You do not have permission to access the IIS configuration file - Web app error

Answer 5

I had the same issue with VS 2013. Start Visual studio as administrator. Then open the project. Job done.

Answer 6

Mine did the same thing. I thought it was my hard drive, but one time I tried to load the program it didn't work. I left clicked my project and reloaded it. It asked me to install updates. I installed them and tried it again. It didn't work off the bat. I reloaded the project again and it worked!!!
