I had the same problem and it was resolved simply by deleting the ImageLibrary.cache file from

C:\Users\< user ame>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ImageLibrary and reopen the visual studio

Yesterday Microsoft released a solution. Link here. I had to close and reopen VS for the update to take effect. Worked like a charm!

Answer 4

I had this problem when updating Windows 10 and installing the extension. It seems VS could not find the files needed for my Windows profile. I realized that I am logging in through my Windows Live login (my email address), and not my local user account. I logged in under my local account, and now you have no problem finding all the files he needs. Hope this helps someone with this issue.

Answer 5

I periodically encountered the same problem. Updating computer display drivers may fix the problem.
