The xaml visual designer crashes for all WIN10 UWP projects, including ones created from the standard template with no code added. I don't know when it started because I thought it was a problem with my project until I tried creating some new ones. The error is given below and in the screen shot at the bottom.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
The app didn't start. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8027025B)

I have tried the following:
None of these have fixed the issue. I get the same error in blend. Any ideas?
A reinstall of the latest Windows 10 SDK should fix this problem. This can be gathered from Microsoft I've had many issues like this in the past. Certain versions tend to be buggy.
