XSD file fails to open in table design mode in Visual Studio 2017

Some XSD files are opened immediately in Design view (see image below). While others in the same solution are opened in the table design view (where I see the table adapters visually).

I already checked here, but when I try to open it with the XML Schema Designer I still get the design view. How can I open the xsd file to actually see the table adapters again?

Right click the file.xsd, choose Open With... and choose Dataset Editor

Turns out I had to fiddle a little with opening the different files of the problematic dataset: .xsd, .designer.vb, clicking 'View Code' and View Designer and all of a sudden it opened again normally. I also restarted Visual Studio once or twice. Extremely strange, but it did the trick for me.
