For VS 2015 or earlier this creates a new hive in the user registry that 
is populated with a clean copy of the system hive (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). 
For VS2017 this has been moved to a private registry file.

Whenever VS feels like there has been some change to the installation, 
it will reinitialize the user registry. Maybe there is something wrong 
there.

You might find some error message when starting devenv with logging 
"devenv /log". This will write

c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_ade21380\ActivityLog.xml 


that you can inspect with a browser. (Not sure if 15.0_ade21380 is the 
same for you here).
