Hi Dheeraj,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Did you meet this issue when you open VS 2013 or did some specific actions in VS?

Please have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue:

1. Delete the folder: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_xx\ComponentModelCacheand restart the VS 2017 to check it again.
2. Open CMD and navigate to the VS 2017 installation folder like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE and run the command: devenv /ResetSettings: Restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to the specified VSSettings file.
3. Re-run the VS installer as administrator and repair VS

If the above not works, please try to roll back to the previous OS status before you upgraded to check if those windows updates cased this issue or not.

Best regards,

Sara
