XAML Designer not showing up

Tools>Option>XAML Designer and enable XAML Designer worked for me.

PS: By default it is enabled. I disabled it due to VS performance issue and forgot about this change and end up facing same issue when I started working on WPF project.

XML designer can be disabled by Resharper in Resharper > Options > Performance Guide
I fixed my problem by turning off Resharper block, and restoring XML designer in Tools > Options

I believe you are looking for XAML Designer and it can be loaded from here:

I am using Microsoft VS Community 2015 (final update)

I am not sure if I should post the answer here because it may not apply for VS Express 2013.

I have exactly the same problem using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. It turns out my project Target version is higher.

Try the following:

• Right click on your project in solution explorer.
• Change the Target version to Windows 10 (10.0; Build 10240).

Let me know if it is not relevant and I will delete my answer.
