Xamarin for VS 2015 - Catastrophic failure

Few hours ago I updated my Xamarin version to the latest one 4.7.10 Everything was fine during the update process and it finished without any errors. After this when I opened one of my projects which is Xamarin.Forms project and I tried to open any .xaml file I was getting this strange error:

enter image description here

Whatever I tried there was no success at all with this error. I was forced to downgrade Xamarin version to the previous one and everything now is OK. Is there anybody who has faced the same error now or before and how did you managed to cope with this bug. And how it is possible released production 'better' version to have such a major bug...

I am becoming more and more convinced that really Xamarin is the Catastrophic Failure here.

I got this error too when trying to open a XAML file in Visual Studio 2015. The link Kris provided in the comments solved it for me. Right click on the XAML file and select "Open With..." followed by "Automatic Editor Selector (XML)". Note that this will open the XAML file without the designer but you can open the Xamarin.Forms Previewer window by going to View > Other Windows > Xamarin.Forms Previewer. More information about the previewer can be found here.
