Visual Studio 2015 Community Crashes on Startup - crash

I've been using VS 2015 Community Edition without any issues for the past 2 months. Then one day it decided to crash (I wasn't doing anything when it crashed). After I tried starting it up again, it only gets to the home-page screen then crashes. No project is being opened, it crashes on its own.
Things I tried with no success:
Repairing the install.
Uninstalling then Reinstalling.
Running in /safemode (still crashes in safemode!)
I don't have anything custom installed (especially after the clean install).
At this point my only hope is re-installing windows (running Windows 7), and hoping the problem goes away then. Any other ideas, things I can try?
Here's the log dump from starting VS2015 in safemode (I wanted to post the contents here, but they exceed the allowed post size):
http://wikisend.com/download/447654/vs_log.txt
I did search through the log for error tags, and found the following instances:

EDIT 1:
Following magicandre1981's advice I ran procdump, but the resulting file is 0.5 GB, so it's too much to upload. Here's a screenshot from the dump file. The exception seems to be 0xE0434352.
EDIT 2:
I looked at Event Viewer, and found the following Error related to the crash. Looks like the exception is caused by Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Experimentation.FlightsClient:
Application: devenv.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

EDIT 3:
Searching for TestFlight related posts, I found the following from Microsoft (opting out of Experience Improvement Program). Looked very promising, but sadly didn't resolve my issue:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/2082049/crash-on-startup

I fixed the problem by installing Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 RC (I was running Update 1), and unchecking every single optional install feature (I just need C#/WPF). Chances are, simply installing Update 2 RC would fix the issue, but I've wasted too much time on it already to keep trying over and over again.
Here's a link to Update 2 RC:

SSMS 18.4 installation will not run

I am having trouble installing SSMS on a fresh installation of Windows 10 - on a new Dell XPS 15.
I am installing the latest version (18.4) from here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms
When I run SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe I get the User Access Control dialogue, I say Yes and nothing happens.
I cannot see any processes starting in Task Manager.
Logs indicate that the installationg cannot start. From googling this error suggests that I'm missing a version of dotnet framework.
I have installed Visual Studio 2019 + all the dotnet frameworks (everything from 4.6 to 4.8) + Dotnet Core.
Does anybody have any ideas - what am I missing or doing wrong? :/
Thanks for your help!

Argh I have worked out my problem - it's pretty dumb.
I forgot that I updated the machine.config with some settings but there was a mistake and missing a closing ". This meant that the configuration was invalid and therefore the installer wouldn't run. 🙈🙈
WE had similar problem:
Issue 1:
The management studio update checker package did not load correctly.
The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension.
Restarting Visual Studio could help resolve this issue.
Issue 2:
The configuration section 'system.web' cannot be read because it is a missing a section declaration.
\?D:\wwwroot\testsite\web.config
While troubleshooting, we found that .NET Framework directory for 32 bit 4.7.1 was missing required config directory which contains necessary default machine.config file. These files are necessary for all applications to run. We copied the files from a working server on to the server which had the problem. We were then able to use current SSMS (v18.4) as well as upgrade it to v18.6. Also, IIS level config errors were gone.
Directory path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException | vb.net

I know this question has been answered many times but I have tried all previous suggested resolution.
1.) The target CPU is x86
2.) I have registered the ocx and dll files
The application is working fine on old machines (all OS) but not on new images.
Here is the log :

regsvr32 c:\xyz\msstdfmt.dll
Crystal reports runtime engine for .NET 4 framework in installed on the system (both x86 and x64).
I had this issue once.
I ran Visual Studio as administrator.
Also make sure you know which setting your platform is for the build: AnyCPU, x86, x64
For you its x86 so try using AnyCPU!
Try debugging the issue
I read an article from Microsoft which said you can debug where this exception is occurring by:
Debug > Exceptions... and use the Find option to locate System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException. Tick the option to break when it's thrown and then debug your application.

Some questions from years ago suggested that the path was too long, so I changed mine to the Public directory but I still get this error.
Another thing that I tried was running this:
rundll32 %windir%\system32\dfshim.dll CleanOnlineAppCache
but after reinstalling I get the same error.
Weird thing is that When I deploy to Windows 7 machines it works flawlessy. The Add-In was developed without much problems in Windows 8.1. I only get this error on Windows 10. Could somebody please tell me what is going on?

Visual Studio Online test runner can't load SpecFlow dll

I've added SpecFlow using Nuget and have a single spec (so it is a simple project). I've created a build in VS online 2015 using the web build editor.
Maybe it's a Nuget new build system issue? I'm not sure if it just a SpecFlow thing and haven't gotten a chance try straight MS unit tests yet.

How can I fix the problem ?
Edit:
The problem doesn't solve with re installing update 2.
The problem stems from the extension: "Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Library for Javascript." This was updated as part of VS 2013 Update 2.
If you uninstall this extension, the error messages should go away. This must be done from the "Programs and Features" control panel window outside of Visual Studio.
After uninstalling this and restarting Visual Studio, it will say that it is still installed (for me, anyways). However, the errors should go away.
Running VSE 2013 for Web, did Update 4, got above message:
CreateInstance failed for package [JSONPackage]
Checked Control Panel, I had VSE for JS v1.0.9200.20789 AS WELL AS and 2.1.30324.53 installed. First I uninstalled the older version, tried loading VSE, got same message.
Then uninstalled other instance of newer version, got same message.
Then tried "Repair" of Update 4, will see if that helps.
In my case VS2013 Update 5, I had exactly the same issue. I solved it uninstalling all the Resharper Extensions.
Resharper -> Extension Manager -> Installed extensions
