Visual Studio 2013 crashes on opening solution: has stopped working Visual Studio use in-Time-Debugger

Question

when opening any .sln file my Visual Studio 2013 crashes with following error:

An unhandled Microsoft .NET Framework exception occurred in devenv.exe

Possible Debuggers:

New instance of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015

--> I am using 2013

This error suddenly occurred without doing anything, at least not that I am aware of. I have seen many similar problems to this but no one has solved them, yet..

Answer 2

Guys When you are Facing this type issue Visual Studio When you Start It's Getting This Type "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 has Stopped Working"

NOTE: Please check when you disconnect the internet VS 2013 It's Working Again You Start Internet Again the same Problem.

In that Case, You Can Log Out Microsoft ID Which you have logged into Visual Studio 2013

Then Problem Resolved,

Answer 3

I also had this problem. Every time I open my Visual Studio 2013, with or without a solution in it, it will crash and show:

Visual Studio 2013 has stopped working

It was solved by:

1. Disconnect your PC from any internet connection,
2. Open Visual Studio 2013. In this state, you are able to open your VS 2013 without any issue, but it will have the problem again when you connect to internet,
3. Logout your account from Visual Studio 2013,
4. Connect to internet again

In my case, it doesn't really a matter if I logout my account from my VS 2013, therefore it fixed the issue.
