Use the Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (KB3110221)[^], Sander.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

If anything, that made it worse.
I now get a "Visual Studio is busy" error every time I start VS and the Test Explorer is still open...

I must be lucky then, as I have had no issues whatsoever.

Good luck. I opened a project on my older laptop that has some unit tests, (BTW, this is VS2012) and got a "that file already exists" when I tried to create a new test file. No, it doesn't exist. Same problem with a non-test project. Tried a solution without tests, that worked fine. I figure, WTF, VS2012 is corrupted, I'll just install VS2015.
Nope, installer dies with some error that apparently other people have experienced. Figure, ok, I'll just uninstall VS2012 and re-install it. Nope, same error as when I tried VS2015.
Read a comment somewhere to try the web installer. Well, right now the laptop (and for the whole day so far) has been doing W7 updates. Figure I should try that first. My last update was in 2014, so there are some 157 updates.
I think what I'll do some time this week is dump everything onto an external SSD, then wipe the drive and start from a blank slate (W7, none of this W8 or W10 sh*t for me.) Maybe replace the drive with an SSD while I'm at it and breath a little life into this old, but very reliable, laptop. At least, the hardware is great, it's showing its age with the OS though.
Or maybe I'll turn it into a Debian box and use Mono.
BTW, the missing cat turns out to be living under our house. Now if it would just stop snowing and raining, he might come out for a bite and be caught in the have-a-heart trap we set out. (And this is a test to see if you read the whole post, mwahaha.)

Seriously though, Windows after 7 is a PITA, VS is a PITA... Maybe switch to Linux after all

I too have lot of issues with VS 2015. In C#, right click a variable to rename, got 'Object reference not set to instance exception'. And a lot more issues with the editor.

I have got a similar problem in my Visual Studio 2015 Community!!!
It happens in the solution where I have got many projects, about 20. Precisely, I have got there 20 ASP.NET Core 1.0 projects. It is crashing when I simply just open my solution. I can see that it loads projects in random order and crashes.
When it crashed I tried to debug it in another Visual Studio 2015 instance but with no result, I think I saw there only something related with json but don't know if it was related with json files in my solutions or projects or internal Visual Studio itself.
The way around (worked for me):
Note: Really be careful if you are using GIT. If you move the projects around you should commit only when your projects are where they are meant to be.
1) Close your Visual Studio 2015
2) Create a temp folder inside your solution, on the same level where your projects are
3) Move majority projects there - maybe all except one, especially keep the one where is the solution file.
4) Open your Solution
5) This should open Visual Studio 2015 without crashing and you will see in your Solution Explorer obviously that some projects are unavailable
6) Move the projects back from temp folder back to their previous place
7) You can reload (right click the project) the one you need or all of them. It should not crash.
I personally like Visual Studio 2015 very much and hope that eventually whatever is broken will be fixed and don't have to use this retarded work around..
..yep, it started with Update 1, I think the Update 73 should fix it.

Nope, fixed it by uninstalling Update 1

At least you got it to install!
Mine just hanged at the install phase, and completely buggered up all my other OS settings. I ended up having to re-install the entire OS after facing system slowdown, repeated crashes etc.

I had basically the exact same problem. Even uninstalling and reinstalling with the Update didn't work. I had to uninstall everything then reinstall everything without the update, once I got that up an running I installed the update, then I had a build problem after the update that I did not have before. The build problem turned out to be an import to a non existent static class in VB, for some reason the compiler didn't say that, it just crashed. I discovered it through eliminating everything until I could build then going line by line through that code file. Update 1 is a MESS.

I had huge problems with crashes and hangs pre-update 1, but a combination of update 1 and unloading various 3rd party VS add-ins solved almost all of them. I won't touch VS2015 without update 1 now - odd that you are having the opposite problem!

Hi All,
Had a bit of a strange phone call telling me the link between Vodaphone & O2 and as such I was to be awarded with an upgrade, call goes on for a while before after agreeing to the conditions it turns out my mobile number was to be transferred to O2 and the company who called me were going to be billing me. So I stopped it there for a couple of reasons 1) I have loyal to Vodaphone for over 20 years, I have relations working there (in Newbury) 2) I did not want to run on the O2 network for security reasons (not that I have that much to be secure about) 3) I was a bit skeptical of a company I have never heard of billing me. Also the handset upgrade was not really an upgrade... Anyone else had this happen to them. Also the company I had the interview with want me back for another more indepth (can I work with this bozo test) next week

Great news. Hopefully the list of posters will go back to being aligned properly and put my OCD to bed!

Think about it..Microsoft is on a big PR campaign to get Win7/8.1 to upgrade to Win10...BUT Win 10
1 has a much longer boot than 7/8.1
2 has a "phase2 boot" (after the desktop displays it continues to spin the hard drive to complete the boot process)
3 is loaded with "junk" apps that can't be uninstalled (e.g. OneNote)
4 is no more secure than Win7/8.1
5 requires more 'updates' per month than 7/8.1
I have Win10, Win7 Pro and Win 8,1 installed on 3 identical PCs and Win 10 is the worst performing. As far as I'm concerned there a reason why the percentage of Win 7 installations is six times greater than Win 10 installs.
Win 10 IS the biggest Microsoft con job since Vista

Quote: there a reason why the percentage of Win 7 installations is six times greater than Win 10 installs
Yes there is: Win 7 has been around for 8 years!
I'm afraid the rest of your piece is a bunch of sweeping statements without substantiation.
By the way: My laptop boots in 6 seconds on Win 10. Win 8 was no better. In any case: You don't need a faster boot, do you?
