There is 1 other post similar to this one, but its answer is kind of unclear and doesn't apply to my situation.
So, this is a bit of a long story, but it will help you understand my situation better.
First off, I am working with unity. I used Visual Studio in the past before so I didn't have the unity mod, because I did not think I would be using much unity. But now I am, I skimmed through this one youtube video and I thought I had to reinstall Visual Studio. So I made the mistake of deleting a bunch of Visual Studio files from my C: drive and deleting my recycling bin. How stupid of me. I could have just went to the Visual Studio mods website and downloaded it from there. I'm sorry for my stupidity. Anyways, when I tried reinstalling, it brought up this error:
Before we get started
Installation folder: 'C:Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community' could not be found.
I tried reinstalling Visual Studio, but it just said the same thing.
Anyone have anything to help?
Try creating that folder and moving vs 2019 content into there

In Visual Studio 2015, every now and then my "Search Solution Explorer" is disabled. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and often restarting Visual Studio or loading a different project does not help. I don't see anyone else on the internet complaining about this. Anyone run into this and have a fix?
I do have Resharper installed, and perhaps that's causing problems, though I believe I've run into this before I ever installed Resharper.
Alternatively, is there a third party extension I can install in Visual Studio 2015 to search by filename?
Renaming the .suo file worked for a colleague just now.
Delete the ".vs/projectname" folder from the "solutionname.sln" directory and restart visual studio should work.
I have seen many solutions here about visual studio crashing. None of them have fixed my problem. In my case Visual Studio crashes when opening any type of solution, located on any drive based on any language (including opening it from Unity).
I tried deleting .suo files and it did not work. I tried installing updates and it did not work. I tried repairing and it did not work.
Is there any possible solution that can help me with this?
For some reason deleting component model cache did not help. But deleting component model cache for a previous version of visual studio (12.0) did in fact help. For some reason that was the culprit that created the problems
This one is a little hard to explain without a picture:
As you can see the window is all messed up. I tried to re-install VS and un-install ReSharper but nothing worked. I'm using VS 2015 Community. This is a really frustrating bug to work with, has anyone else run into this?
I have the problem that Visual Studio 2013 crashes when I lock the computer or start another instance of Visual Studio.
I use Visual Studio 2013 with latest patches applied. I always start Visual Studio as Admin.
This seems to only happen with a certain big solution. This problem did not occur to me with other solutions.
I tried to delete the solution and make a clean checkout from TFS, but Visual Studio still crashes.
I know this is not much information, but do you have any idea how to fix this or how to what else I could check?
Additional Information: This still happens even with Visual Studio 2015 on a fresh Windows 8.1 installation...
Here's the error:
Use the following steps to solve the issue:

I would copy the solution with quotation but as you can see, there is a lot of text to edit.
Start Visual Studio using the /log switch. Then check the created log file for warnings and errors:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml
If you use a Web Browser to view the file, it will be nicely formatted, due to the accompanying xsl-sheet.
Some time ago I started developing with Visual Studio 2013 Professional and everything worked well. But a few weeks ago I upgraded to the Ultimate version. But since then Visual Studio crashes when I load a project. VS just starts up normally, I can see the menu and log in and stuff like that. But when I open a project it crashes everytime. I tried to repair it VS in the control panel, but still the same problem... Then I reinstalled it but when loading a solution it crashed again. Now I downgraded to Professional again, but now even Professional crashes.
I have been searching on google for a long time to solve this problem. I tried to reconfigure the debugger, even reinstalled it, but no effect. A lot of forums say you have to delete the .suo file in the project, but even that doesn't work...
Is there a solution for this?
UPDATE
When Visual Studio crashes I get this error: https://i.imgur.com/VtaikJ5.png?1
My ActivityLog.xml is on OneDrive: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B3519F287A9CD3FC!2830&authkey=!AIUDHo1bCZan4Fk&ithint=file%2cxml
I already received the answer from the MSDN forum. And it was caused by the Web Essentials extension tool. And apparently with the Visual Studio Update 4 everything seems to be fixed. The extension tool was causing the error, and that error is fixed in the update.
Thanks for the support everyone!
