After upgrading to Windows 10 fast ring build 14393, Visual Studio 2015 stopped working correctly: I get multiple "The XXX package did not load correctly. ...".
After the IDE shell is loaded, most menu items do not work or show a "object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I tried uninstall and reinstalling VS, running repair, nothing helps.
Extract from log (has tons of errors):

Thanks for you response.
None of the stuff worked, finally I uninstalled VS2015 again, but this time I also uninstalled all other related software that has its own item in "Program and Features", and then reinstalled VS2015 from scratch, and this solved the issue.

Hi ArielE2,
It seem like your issue is more related to the Visual Studio installation, I moved it to our Visual Studio installation forum for better support.
By the way, Please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.zip under %temp% folder. Please upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
Best Regards,
Lake Xiao

Dear ArielE2,
Welcome to the MSDN forum.
According to the error message "The XXX package did not load correctly. ...", please have a try with the following workarounds:
1. Close all instances of VS
2. delete everything in this 2 folders as below:
C:\Users\your users name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
C:\Users\your users name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
3. Restart VS 2015
4. Please open an administrative CMD window and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE and run these commands as below, then open VS. What’s more, please check here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7.aspx
- devenv /resetsettings
- devenv /resetuserdata
- devenv /ResetSkipPkgs
- devenv /safemode
After each command, please open VS 2010 ultimate and see if this issue occur or not.
Have you tried to use a healthy ISO file of VS 2015 to repair? What’s your VS 2015 edition?
Best regards,
Sara
