    "Lightweight Solution Load" being enable with "Enable UI debugging for XAML" is what is causing this hang. We have a pending fix for 15.4. In meantime, here's what you can do.

    If you plan to use "Enable UI Debugging for XAML", make sure your current solution is not set to Lightweight Solution Load: In the options->Project and Solution, make sure that "Lightweight Solution Load" is disabled. Also make sure that in the solution properties, "Lightweight load" is not turn on .

    If you don't plan to use "Enable UI Debugging for XAML", uncheck Debug -> Options -> Enable UI debugging for XAML and this should unblock you as well.
