Code editor appears blank

Question

I was using ReSharper with visual studio 2015 and my pc got really slow because of ReSharper and i had to uninstall it. After uninstallation completed when i opened up my project the only thing i saw was a blank screen like this.

I know that uninstalling ReSharper caused it and i looked and tried to fix it by changing Text Editor options but nothing worked so far. I've also searched about this issue and nothing came across yet.

Thanks

This error is caused by a corrupted Visual Studio cache.

Close all Visual Studio tasks that are running, and delete all files in the folders ComponentModelCache and MEFCacheBackup

these folders are located in:

\Users\YOUR_USER_PATH\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\YOUR_VISUAL_STUDIO_VERSION

I know this is a really old thread. I recently had this problem and found that it was a corrupt font.

In my case I was using Cascadia Code font. uninstalling and reinstalling that font fixed it for me.
