Adding a panel in UserControl gives Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt

Question

I am getting this nasty error every time I try to add a panel to any UserControl in the "Design" view. Here is the Stack Trace:

at System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods.Gdip.GdipDrawRectangleI(HandleRef graphics, HandleRef pen, Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 width, Int32 height)
   at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pen pen, Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 width, Int32 height)
   at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pen pen, Rectangle rect)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Design.PanelDesigner.DrawBorder(Graphics graphics)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Design.PanelDesigner.OnPaintAdornments(PaintEventArgs pe)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Design.ScrollableControlDesigner.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner.DesignerWindowTarget.OnMessage(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

I have checked a similar question with the same exception but none of the answers fix my problem.

Also, I've tried to unchecked "Suppress JIT optimization on module load" and had no success.

Please, any advice?

No, I created a new UserControl, and tried to add a panel (it happens to any container I try to add) and the Visual Studio crashes with this error — Renato Pereira, Jun 05 '18 at 16:20
Just tried, and yes, it happens on a new project as well :( Visual Studio restarts — Renato Pereira, Jun 05 '18 at 16:22
Do you have any add-ins? Try rebooting machine. Repair / Reinstall Visual Studio, etc. — LarsTech, Jun 05 '18 at 16:26
Try `devenv /SafeMode` and also `/ResetSkipPkgs` to open Visual Studio using `Run` window and create a new project and see if the problem still is there. — Reza Aghaei, Jun 05 '18 at 16:40
So, I reinstalled my Visual Studio, rebooted the machine and everything is working fine now, thanks so much guys! — Renato Pereira, Jun 05 '18 at 20:59
