XAML crashing continuously Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm running VS2015 on a Win10 machine. I cannot work without having xaml designer crash. I've tried disabling running project code, restarting, etc. Nothing is working. I've searched the web and I am finding absolutely nothing.

Microsoft.MetadataReader.UnresolvedAssemblyException
Type universe cannot resolve assembly: Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35.

What are my options?

EDIT: The HP env var fix doesn't work

You will need to include Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure into your project, if I am not mistaken. — Lajos Arpad, Jul 17 '17 at 08:10

Does this help?

To quote the user Roman Mueller :

Try this, worked for me on an HP laptop:

delete the "Platform" environment variable in System->Advanced System Settings->Environment Variables ...

In my case it said =HPD

Not using HP machine unfortunately. – Ryan Shocker Jul 16 '17 at 20:54
I assume your VS15 is up to date? Do you by any chance have Blend installed? – Tsimp. Dim Jul 16 '17 at 21:00
I do have blend and it crashes there as well. Currently repairing my installation. – Ryan Shocker Jul 16 '17 at 21:04
