Answer 1

I came across this same issue today and read plenty of things such as "this is VS bug...." but the solution was much simpler than that, I just needed to stop debugging (Shift+F5).

If that doesn't work, I recommend restarting the IDE.

If this doesn't work, I guess that uninstalling VS and doing a fresh installation is the answer you're looking for. It's important to note that it's recommended to restart Windows after installing VS and before launching it.

Answer 2

Right click on the Toolbox and press "Show All"
