VS2012 stops working after Win10 1607 update (anniversary update) - visual-studio-2012

I´ve just updated my Windows 10 dev machine with the following update kit:
Feature update to Windows 10, version 1607
After that update, started automatically when I shut down Windows, I´m trying to open my VS2012 solutions and I´m getting the following error for all of my projects in all of my solutions:
Load Failed. The project requires user input. Reload the project for more information.
After choosing "Reload Project" I get the same error and on the output windows I get:
error : Internal error occurred. Additional information: ''.
Seens that this Win10 update messed up with my development environment.
Does anyone had the same behaviour ? What can be done without a full reinstall ?

Update VS2012 ( Tools > Extension and updates... > Updates )
The Vs2012 Update 5 fixes the problem

I tried the update 5 for VS 2012 and that did not solve the problem. What did solve the problem was removing Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4025344)

Android Studio won't create a class

Why won't Android Studio create a class?
It doesn't even work for newly created projects
Update
OR why are all of these empty?
The reason is you may have installed the 64 bit version on a 32 bit machine. I had the same problem. If you have 32-bit OS, try to uninstall 64-bit version of Android Studio and install 32-bit version from this page: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads
I too faced the same Issue. Go to your Android Studio -> Help -> Edit Custom VM options. Add the following line to the opened file.
-Djdk.util.zip.ensureTrailingSlash=false
Source : Fix suggested by Wojciech Fred
To me, the problem was due to incorrect upgrade to new version of Android Studio. Studio patching seemingly went ok, but at Event Log, I constantly got this error:
2:55 PM FileNotFoundException: Entry fileTemplates//code/Google Test Fixture SetUp Method.cc.ft not found in /home/vlada/android-studio-145.3200535/lib/idea.jar
I also got similar message in 'IDE Fatal Errors' window.
Downloading and installing the latest version of Studio solved the problem for me.

Cannot install Windows SDK for Windows 7

I try to install Windows SDK on a Windows 7 laptop because its a dependency of this node.js module. (All Windows Versions. For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the Windows 7 64-bit SDK)
I went here, hit Download, and got an winsdk_web.exe file. Run it and everything was going fine, until the last step, where I got "Installation failed".
This is what I get in the end
I copy/pasted the link from the above screen that got me to this page , so I can troubleshoot it, but I cannot find a SDKSetupLog.txt file anywhere. There is an SDK in the laptop in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A , but frankly I dont know if it was already there before the installation or it created by it. The laptop is not mine.
My last log is:
Last log : 2:03:10 πμ Sunday, 20 December 2015: [SDKSetup:Error] Config_Products_Install: Windows SDK Setup (failed): Installation of the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7" product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information. Stack: in SDKSetup.Product.ConfigureNewProduct(ManualResetEvent CancelEvent) in SDKSetup.Product.SetupProduct(TaskMode taskMode, ManualResetEvent CancelEvent) in SDKSetup.ProductCollection.SetupProducts(TaskMode taskMode, DownloadManager downloadManager, ManualResetEvent cancelEvent) σε SDKSetup.ConfigProducts.DoCurrentTask(TaskMode Task)
How do I fix this?
UPDATE
Check this fiddle to see the full log.

Visual Studio 2013 Cordova App Build Error - Freezes

I'm not being able to build a Cordova app in Visual Studio 2013. The build starts but freezes a couple of seconds later.
This last output line from the build process:
Could not find Cordova as a local module. Expecting to find it
installed globally.
I've countless times ran the Cordova install command (globally) on node.js and still get the same build error.
I'm not sure how to get around this issue.
Does anyone has an idea what's the problem or what I'm missing ?
I had same problem and i tried bunch of solutions... The problem was salved by change settings in my firewall. I observed that the firewall blocks one of js process(node.exe). When I turn off firewall the VS unfreezes. So I reconfigured it and my problem disappeared. I use win 7 64 bit, and VS 2013 update 4.
You can also try switch on the x64 IIS(if you're using 64bit OS): Cordova Tools for Visual Studio 2013 CTP3 crashes or gets freezed
and/or update the Web Essentials Nightly:

VS 2012 Update 3 broke my VS

I am using Windows 8 64 bit machine with VS 2012 ultimate. After installing Update 3 and restarting the machine, I get following error whenever I try to open VS.
---------------------------
devenv.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The said file is already present in C:\Windows\System32 folder. Please let me know what can be done here..don't want to reinstall that monster again.
You need to check where your projects are being loaded. I have VS installs under both x86 and 64. You'll need downloads for both on a 64 bit operating system.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
Please see:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/d081943f-fbe8-4a28-b8c0-d83ded9b1a67/msvcr100dll-missing
Some basic tips:
Ensure you have run the install with Administrator rights.
VS won't always ask for a computer restart. However, reboot your computer.
A note about this update.
Note Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server (TFS) installation
mechanics are different. The Visual Studio update installs on top of
whatever is already installed on the computer. The TFS update is a
full layout that replaces whatever is installed on the computer.
Before you try to apply the TFS update, make sure that you have a full
backup of your current databases. If the TFS update installation
fails, you will be unable to restart the update or roll back to the
earlier version of TFS without performing a restore procedure.

If you get this error it means you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 Update 3.Try to download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 .Hope this helps.
Since it is a 64bit system, copying the missing file to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder should solve your problem. If it keeps failing for other dll just keep copying.
With same error (MSVCR110.dll not found) really reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 not solved all problems. Some VS tools report - not found msvcr110_clr0400.dll. After repair installation of .net 4.0 (or 4.5/4.5.1) all work fine.

The VS 2012 Update 2 installation hang at the beginning

I'm installing VS2012 update 2, but now whenever I tried to install, the installation hang at the beginning while applying "Microsoft Portable Library Multi-Target Pack" and not able to progress at all. I'm running Windows 8 x64 with latest updates and VS2012 Ultimate.
Anyone encountered the same situation? Anyone got it working?
BTW, I have 2 win8 x64 machines, both have this issue.
