Visual Studio crash at start-up

In my case VS used to crash on a single solution. I resolved the problem by deleting the respective solutions's user file: SolutionName.suo

Try to run VS as administrator. That's necessary in my case.

Since you're able to run with another user login, something may be wrong with your local settings, you can try to reset them: devenv /resetsettings in Start menu -> Run.

Warning: this will restore visual studio to default settings.

For me it turned out to be the plugin that GitExtensions installed into Visual Studio 2013.

-- UPDATE: try this before uninstalling GitExtensions

@Enceradeira proposed in the comments to uncheck the Show current branch in Visual Studio option. In GitExtensions, you get there via Tools -> Settings -> Appearance:

-- END OF UPDATE

After uninstalling GitExtensions and reinstalling it with all VS plugin unselected my VS runs smoothly again.

I even put together a blog post about this issue because it bugged me so much.
