visual studio - How to fix "Internal Diagnostics Hub Exception" in VS 2015 Update 1?

Question

I've just updated to Visual Studio 2015 Update 1, and I'm getting the error whenever I start debugging:

Internal Diagnostics Hub Exception. See log for more details.

How do I fix this, or disable the error?

I don't know which log file I should check. In ActivityLog.xml, the last entry is of yesterday, so that doesn't contain anything useful. Next, I know there is a logfile of MEF (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.err), but that's empty. How to investigate this?

Answer 1

I dug into the the Visual Studio logs to understand what was happening (C:UsersYourUserAppDataRoamingMicrosoftVisualStudio14.0ActivityLog.xml). In mine, the messages were something like this:
