Visual Studio crashes when trying to open up

I've installed Visual Studio 2013 a few weeks ago. I played around with making some C# applications. But today when I tried to open up Visual Studio, I got the following error message: The operation could not be completed. No such interface supported.

I have tried to run it as administrator, same problem. This is the only version that's installed on my computer. I have Win 7 64 bit. Could anyone help please?

Why does my Visual Studio keep crashing?

If you experience crashes of Visual Studio, typically when working with a very large solution, your IDE might be out of virtual memory. Typical indicators of the problem include a "one or more errors occurred" message, "the process appears to be deadlocked" message, and OutOfMemory exception in a crash dump.

How do I start Visual Studio in safe mode?

All versions of visual studio can be started with a set of arguments. Using devenv.exe /SafeMode allows you to run any version of visual studio (devenv.exe) in SafeMode that will disable 3rd party plugins. You can either run devenv.exe /SafeMode using the command line or by creating a new shortcut.

How do I unfreeze Visual Studio?

The workaround is pretty easy, just follow these simple steps: Open Tools / Options in Visual Studio 2019 and find the Projects and Solutions node. Unselect 'Allow parallel project initialization' Click 'OK' and close the solution.

I had this problem too on VS12. There are probably more solutions but the simplest one is to clear VisualStudio's temporary data. You can find that in C:\Users\_name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\_version. Just delete entire version folder and it will be regenerated when you open VS.
