Visual Studio crashes when removing reference

Question

My 2015 Visual Studio Pro crashes every time I remove a reference from any C# project targeting .NET 4.0. Is there a fix for this?

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015
Version 14.0.25123.00 Update 2
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.01055

Answer 1

Addition and removal of references from the project file can also be done using any text editor and editing the .proj file. Each .proj file is an XML file storing the project configuration. Just remove the reference and save the file. (A possible work-around)

The problem you mentioned don't seem to be a general issue. Visual studio may also crash for some unknown host system or project configurations.
