Projects load failed in Visual Studio 2015

Solution 1:

I experienced this issue for different reasons , but deleting all of the .vs folders ( there was one at the solution level and some projects had their own ) worked for me .

How To: Close the solution , delete all the .vs folders , reopen the solution .

Solution 2:

I've already had this problem and in my case I solved it by executing VS as Administrator.

Solution 3:

Try the following:

Open the Output window (View->Output or Ctrl+Alt+O).
Then right-click one of the failed projects and select Reload Project.

The Output window will now show a more detailed error message.

Solution 4:

Try deleting .suo & .user files.

For those who receive this error but did not move projects around

Try deleting .suo files in your solution folder. Solution User Option file is a binary file which contains various user information and settings such as location of the breakpoints.

If that didn't help try also to delete .user file. If you have trouble finding .suo file

In Visual Studio 2015 (also in Community Edition), the .suo file is located inside a hidden .vs folder in solution folder. Since both .vs folder and .suo file have hidden attribute applied to them, you have to reveal them using using File Explorer by changing folder options to “show hidden files, folders and drives”. How to get to this option in File Explorer depends on the version of Windows:

In Windows 7, option is located under Organize > Folder and search options.

in Windows 8, it is located under View tab > Options > Change folder and search options.

in Windows 10, it is the same as in Windows 8.
