Getting error in Visual Studio 2013 xaml designer and Blend (Exception 0x80073CF9)

1

Suddenly it stopped working. Even with new and blank projects. Visual Studio 2012 still working (at the same machine). Tried to repair and reinstall Visual Studio 2013 - no success. While trying to view xaml code in the designer I getting this error:

System.Exception

Update: Same error code while installing any WIndows Store app.
