Can you look in the output window to see if anything is being logged? VS won't try to open the documents if it failed previously.

All solutions, old and new, in my dev machine that were closed with a WPF designer open will reopen with all windows closed. The problem does not occur in VS2013 on my spare VM. Doing a devenv /resetsettings has no effect. Running as admin or user has no effect. Deleting suo files has no effect. I recall it started happening something in the last two weeks, but I can't link it to anything memorable that happened. So unfortunately I can't give you any useful information to help diagnose the problem. I will keep an eye on it and let you know if I can report anything useful.

Can you call out the exact steps that it takes to repro and I'll get a bug filed.
