I have Windows 10. The following steps corrected the issue
- Open Program and Features and do a search for 'entity'
- I noticed an update was installed on 1/23/2016 after the 6.1.3 update on 7/22/2015
- Selected the 'Entity Framework 6.1.3' etc.. update
- Clicked on the "Repair" button. After the repair completed I restarted Visual Studio and issue no longer surfaced.
Thanks to @Farshid for the initial clue to a resolution.
