I started using Visual Studio 2015 since a couple of months and just noticed that the Icon Editor is missing!!! In previous versions' of Visual Studio I always used the Image Editor for editing icons, but in 2015 I can't find it and, if I double click on an icon file it opens the Paint.
Maybe I forgot something on the installation or did Microsoft remove it from Visual Studio?
Close the dialog and then select Tools > Get Tools and Features from the menu bar, to open the Visual Studio Installer. Select the Individual components tab, and then select the Image and 3D model editors component under the Games and Graphics category. Select Modify.
From Visual Studio 2012 onward, the icons are downloadable separately from Visual Studio: The Visual Studio Image Library.
From the Paint menu, choose Save As, and then select JPEG Picture from the menu of file formats that pops up. Next, enter a filename with the . ico extension and save the file. That's it.
Icons. Small images that appear in commands, hierarchies, templates, and so on. The default icon size used in Visual Studio is a 16x16 PNG. Icons produced by the image service automatically generate the XAML format for HDPI support. While images are used in the menu system, you should not create an icon for every command.

Right click in the left panel (the icon panel) and choose New Image Type... [Ins] (You'll also find it in the Visual Studio Menu Debug -> "Your Project Name" Properties...) Under Resources - Icon and manifest browse to and select the icon file you just created.
Image Editor for Icons (C++) When you select an image file (such as .ico, .bmp, .png) in Solution Explorer, the image opens in the Image Editor in the same way that code files open in the Code Editor. When an Image Editor tab is active, you see toolbars with many tools for creating and editing images.
Did you install C++? I had the same problem, but was resolved after installing
