I would do the following:

  1. Update Visual Studio
  2. Ensure all the plugins are also updated.

If that doesn't resolve your issue, I would boot Visual Studio into Safe Mode.

START /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\" devenv.exe /safemode

If it works in Safe Mode, it could be a plugin. However, if you update all initially it should resolve your issue. You'll also want to ensure you do have the SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio, otherwise it will fail.
