Visual Studio crashes when you lock your computer or start another instance

I'm having an issue with Visual Studio 2013 crashing when I lock my computer or start another instance of Visual Studio. I am using Visual Studio 2013 with the latest fixes. I always run Visual Studio as administrator.

This only happens with some big decision. This issue didn't appear for me with other solutions.

I tried to uninstall the solution and do a clean checkout with TFS, but Visual Studio still crashes.

I know this is a small piece of information, but do you know how to fix this or how can I check?

Additional info: This still happens even with Visual Studio 2015 on a fresh install of Windows 8.1 ...

Here's the error:

Start Visual Studio with the switch /log

. Then check the generated log file for warnings and errors:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml


If you are using a web browser to view the file, it will be nicely formatted because of the accompanying xsl sheet.
