Visual Studio Tools For Office (Excel 2016 Workbook) Designer Showing Blue Screen

So I'm trying to start a VSTO Excel Workbook project and cannot seem to get the designer to actually open the spreadsheet I've seeded the project with.

The designer just shows a blue screen and doesn't let me actually edit the spreadsheet.

This also occurs when I start a fresh project from scratch.

I have no issue editing the code for each sheet or the workbook as a whole, it's just the designer that's giving me issues.

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 with Excel 2016.

Thoughts?

In your Windows display settings, try setting your monitor's "scale and layout" settings to 100%.
