Fix the Start-up Problem of Visual Studio

The Fix:

  1. Run the command (Ctrl + R) regedit.exe (The Registry Editor) as Administrator.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, SOFTWARE, Microsoft, VisualStudio and click the version number (14.0 for VS 2015 etc)
  3. The MainWindow value string (location and size of the Visual Studio Main Window) contains invalid size value. In this case, -101 is not a valid size, then change it to something positive.
