To fix this problem, please close Visual Studio and do the following steps:

1. Open a Visual Studio Developer command prompt.
2. Run devenv /clearcache

Or, delete this folder:

%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache

When you restart Visual Studio the problem should go away.
