An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension in Visual Studio 2013

Question

I'm running with VS-2013 Premium with update 3. While debugging the code and when try to step into , I'm getting this error message box: An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension

When entering the log file (the path is mentioned on the message), I'm get this exception:

Same entry there more than 4 times. Even I have deleted the component cache model but problem is not resolved:

C:\Users\User name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0

Answer 1

Go to Tools--> Extensions and Update and disable all the addings from here. Restart the visual studio. Problem will resolve. Hope this will help others.
