Fix Hang during Windows 10 SDK Setup

Visual Studio hangs at installing the Windows 10 SDK. To work around the issue, execute in a command prompt:

"c:\windows\syswow64\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -InputFormat None -Command "& """C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\Win10SDK_10.0.14393.795,version=10.0.14393.79501\WinSdkInstall.ps1""" -SetupExe sdksetup.exe -SetupLogFolder standalonesdk -PackageId Win10SDK_10.0.14393.795 -SetupParameters """/features OptionId.AvrfExternal OptionId.WindowsSoftwareDevelopmentKit OptionId.WindowsSoftwareLogoToolkit OptionId.NetFxSoftwareDevelopmentKit /quiet /norestart"""; exit $LastExitCode"

Reinstall all Package Dependencies via the Command Line Package Manager

Unfortunately, the UI lacks a way to reinstall or install dependent packages such that users have to install packages using the package manager console.

First, navigate to ToolsNuGet Package ManagerPackage Manager Console and then issue the following within the pane that opens up (more than likely, atthe bottom of the Visual Studio workspace):

Update-Package -reinstall

Visual Studio will now start installing the dependent packages.
