Visual Studio 2015 is crashing when searching from Solution Explorer

Question

Visual Studio 2015 is crashing when searching from Solution Explorer. Is this known bug ? is there any workaround.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015, Version 14.0.23107.0

From Event Viewer:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.5485 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7098CE82) (0)

Answer 1

There's an active bug for this issue.

You can read up on it here

From the comments, you can see that Safe Mode might have some success, but no official workaround is to be found in the bug report as of yet.

Answer 2

I'm the one who filed the BUG in connect. It has three attached files, two crash dumps and one stack trace obtained from the event viewer. If you look at the connect BUG, you will see that another person can repro the bug and this case will be the third (please click on repro "I can too").

I have an active thread on MSDN community forums where you can watch the complete stack trace of two crashs, in text format here.

I'm a member of a developer team looking to move forward to VS 2015 and we need to migrate these existing projects, so I'm stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What I have tried so far: reset user settings, delete the SUO files, with no success. Safe mode works, so it's probably an extension (not sure if it's an extension in VS 2012 or 2015, as in 2015 there are no extensions that I can disable), I'm trying now the last suggestion from the MSDN thread and I will post here if I can solve this.
