Visual Studio 2013 crashes whenever I open a solution/project?

Ever since I tried to open a VS2013 solution for a Unity 3D script project and got an "unsupported project type" error, I can't open any solutions without VS2013 crashing. I have VS2013 Ultimate. I can start the IDE without error. But the instant I try to load a solution it:

These are things I've tried so far to fix the error:

Nothing worked. I then went into the Uninstall Program module in the Control Panel. When I right-clicked on VS2013 there wasn't a Repair or Uninstall choice, only a Change choice. I clicked on that and oddly it went through the motions of doing the same activity as doing a version update. The operation took about an hour and had the familiar "Acquiring/Applying" dialog. After it was done there was a status update saying that the operation succeeded but that the Office Tools module could not be updated. I then restarted my system. I still have the crashing problem

Does anyone know how to fix this or what else to try

EXTRA DETAILS: I checked the system Event Viewer and did see a pair of Application Errors for DevEnv.exe for each failure. The is an Exception in KERNALBASE.dll:

Faulting application name: devenv.exe, version: 12.0.30723.0, time stamp: 0x53cf6f00

The second is an Unhandled Exception from really odd place:

I've deactivated Web Essentials for 2013 Update 4 (Under Extentensions & Updates), that makes VS load Web Projects again. I have no clue what happened since yesterday, as I did not install any updates.
