IDE crashes on startup, at the splash screen. I have looked into logs and found a bunch of errors:

I tried to reinstall VS, remove all extensions etc but nothing helped me
UPD: it doesn't work with /setup
Check this link. Maybe it will help. I know it's for Visual Studio 2012 but might apply here as well

I am trying to do a find and replace all on the entire solution but everytime I try, it crashes visual studio with the message:
Visual Studio 20** has stopped working
This only happens when I do a find and replace all on the entire solution or current project - it will work if I do it on all open files (but I don't want to go through and open all the files everytime I want to do this), and a find all in the entire solution works and it will always crash no matter how small the solution is - I tried it on a one file project
From looking around various reasons for VS crashing, I have tried the following with no success:
Clean and rebuild the solution
Deleting files in %AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
Starting in SafeMode
Running VS with logging, but it seems to crash before it logs the reason for the crash - see errors from log xml in code snippet below. I think these happen on load rather than when the crash happens as I have tried loading and then closing the vs and get the same errors. For a full copy of the log, check this fiddle

Has anyone had this problem, know how to solve it, or understand my log files enough to see what the problem is?
my project has stopped loading - Visual Studio 2013 just crashes and I'm really worried I wont be able to continue my work on the project solution. I've found this error in Visual Studio's Activity Log, but I don't really know what it means, can anyone help?
Visual Studio does open on it's own, but I cant run the project solution I've been working on.

Try clearing the Visual Studio component model cache.
I've been experimenting with / checking out Xamarin in Visual Studio for the last couple of daze.
Yesterday, though, I opened the Android SDK Manager, and saw there were four (I think it was) packages that needed to be updated. The attempt to do so failed, though, saying “A folder failed to be moved. On Windows this typically means android sdk manager...").
I then closed and restarted VS2013 / Xamarin. Subsequent attempts to open the SDK manager just result in an err msg ("Command did not execute successfully due to an unexpected exception. Please check the output window for additional information"). Here are the "More Details":
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
at Mono.VisualStudio.Extension.ProcessWrapper.RunWithOutput(String executable, Int32 waitTime, String workingDir, IVsOutputWindowPane outputPane, String[] arguments)
at Mono.Android.VisualStudio.MonoAndroidSdk.StartAndroidSdkManager()

at Mono.VisualStudio.Extension.Commands.VsCommandExtensionAdapter.<>c__DisplayClass5.b__3()
at Mono.VisualStudio.Extension.TracingExtensions.ShieldUI(ITracer tracer, Action action, String format, String[] args)
Now (even after restarting Windows) I'm not even able to open the project due, I assume, to the interrupted state of the sidetracked upgrade. These are what I see:
There were also these err msgs:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- PlatypusMobile.Android, "C:\Users\clay\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\PlatypusMobile\PlatypusMobile.Android.csproj"
Non-functional changes required
Visual Studio will automatically make non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable them to open in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be impacted.
- PlatypusMobile, "C:\Users\clay\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\PlatypusMobile\PlatypusMobile.sln"
Also, one of the err msgs said to look in:

How can I recombine the shattered shards and get the project to open again so that I can retry upgrading the Android SDK packages? Can Humpty-Dumpty be put back together again?
Note: In the meantime, I have my first app up and running in Android Studio.
For me VS restart has solved the incompatibility issues both for iOS and Android projects
How about trying to upgrade the Andrdoid SDK packages from Xamarin Studio?
You can just go to Tools-> Open Android SDK Manager...
Now it takes about 5 minutes to start the IDE itself and no project is loaded.
I have tried the following
re install VS2012
Remove Resharper
Remove DevExpress
I have studied the activity log and found that record #945 takes about 8 minutes. Can anyone help?
The same symptom is also described here but not answered.

What seemed to help for me was dumping my temporary internet files and deleting the contents my C:\FusionLogs
The following registry keys can tell you if Fusion Logging is enabled and where it logs too:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\EnableLog <-- logging set to exception
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog <-- log all binds to disk
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\LogFailures <-- log failures
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\LogPath <-- target of logging
I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium in a virtual machine (VM) and all was working fine until today, when I uninstalled Office 2010 Trial, installed Office 2010 Professional, and created a snapshot of my VM.
Now when I open Visual Studio, the interface appears for one or two seconds and disappears. The problem comes when I open a solution (.sln) file (it crashes after loading the solution) or when I just open Visual Studio 2010 (even in Safe Mode).
How do I fix this?

If Roman's suggestion does not pan out, I would reset the entire VS installation. You can do this as follows from the VS command prompt:
devenv.exe /resetsettings
devenv.exe /setup
This should put VS back to it original installed state.
I had the same problem caused by changing one of my project's property pages during compilation. The following steps solved this issue:
Open Visual Studio 2008.
Open some project you have or create new empty project.
Modify the debugger command to point to the visual studio 2010 devenv.exe.
Launch the debugger and the Visual Studio 2010 will run.
Press File -> Exit from the Visual Studio 2010 menu, and that's it.
A few suggestions as for working around the problem without knowing the specific cause of the crash:
Disable Visual Studio Add-Ins
Delete solution/project temporary files (such as .SDF, intermediate files, etc.)
Re-open the solution file in a restarted Visual Studio to give it another try.
I fixed mine:
logged in as another user (administrator)
launched visual studio 10 ultimate.
It worked.
Came BACK as my normal user - all was well.
I did a remote desktop connection to the same machine as a different user
I did a /resetsettings before attempting the other user
