I have been using Visual Studio 2015 Community version with Windows 10 for several months now. Then it unexpectedly stopped working. I am unable to open an existing solution or create a new solution without getting the following error:

I have uninstalled VS2015 and download a new installer multiple times. Upon re-installation I continuously get the following alert:

The new install will run, but when I try to open an existing solution or create a new one, I get the same error message as shown above. I have no idea what is going on here, or why VS 2015 just stopped working for me?

Seems like I should have search a bit more before posting this question. I was able to find a solution here: Visual Studio freezes or hangs on startup

What worked for me was:

  1. Launch Command Prompt
  2. cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\
  3. devenv.exe /ResetUserData

I'm not sure why this worked, but my VS 2015 seems to be working correctly now.
