Yesterday I studied a little MVC5 before bed.

Today, I open Visual Studio 2013 and while loading, the following exception occurs:

enter image description here enter image description here

Exception Details

System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Buffer cannot be null. Parameter name: buffer

I have already repaired Visual Studio and nothing has changed.
Does anyone know what's going on?

The Update 5 worked for me. However you need to be part of Dev Essentials in order to download this update.

Appears to be fixed now, although I see no confirmation on https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/46728392-212b-405e-aea0-2ab02f91cd1f/visual-studio-2013-crashes-on-startup?forum=visualstudiogeneral

I'm running VS2013 U3 and able to startup without issue. A colleague is able to run VS2013 as well.
