Did you asked Microsoft? (I had no problem with the update)

Can you remove that RecipeManager Package, let say, from command line?
Or run VS in safe-mode (devenv /SafeMode)?

My advice:

Uninstall Visual Studio and do a fresh install...

This does not take too long and is quicker than finding the reason for this problem.
