Type library exporter encountered an error while processing 'CopyAsHtml.CopyAsHtmlPackage, CopyAsHtml'. Error: Type library exporter encountered an error while processing 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.SVsSolutionObject, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop'. Error: Type 'SVsSolutionObject' and type 'SVsSolution' both have the same UUID.

After that first error dialog, every use of cut or copy produces the E_FAIL, Unspecified Error dialog.

Go to Tools -> Manage Extensions -> Installed (left top corner) -> Search for CopyAsHtml and disable that extension. This worked for me :) enter image description here
