Visual Studio 2015 freezes when adding a new Controller in Azure Mobile Service

Question

Every time I right click the Controller folder and click add -> Controller, VS 2015 freezes. I am running on the latest win 10, VS is up to date and all the packages are the latest. I've tried different locations, checking permissions on the files and all types of other fun stuff. The weird part is that it only freezes on an azure mobile services project. If I do a web api project or mvc project I can add the controller just fine.

Any ideas?

I also was having this issue for a few days now and I just managed to solve it by re-installing the Entity Framework package using the nuget console:

Update-Package EntityFramework -reinstall

Answer 2

The above solution didn't solve my problem. Even reinstalling VS 2015 didn't. But the running the following could solve my problem:

1. open administrative cmd in folder

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE

2. devenv.exe  /resetsettings

3. devenv.exe  /resetuserdata
