Visual Studio - Designer process terminated unexpectedly

Question

After opening project (new or old) Visual Studio shows warning \"Designer terminated unexpectedly\" (can see in the picture below). What could cause this error? And

Answer 1

I just had a similar problem. Tried:

• Clicking to reload the designer
• Cleaning my solution
• Restarting Visual Studio
• Repairing Visual Studio
• Uninstalling and re-installing Visual Studio!

It ended up being graphics related, as you mentioned.

I have hybrid graphics (Intel and NVIDIA), and was using NVIDIA for Visual Studio. Changed it to Intel and this worked.

If it helps, a screenshot of my NVIDIA control panel is below:
