Maybe try not using VS Git/Github support functionality and load the project traditionally.
If you have problems here's how you can disable the Git/Github support package from ever loading up in VS: https://gist.github.com/hmemcpy/5bc6b5cc11050b502ca3
Err.. correction, this is just Git revision support, the Github thing is AFAIK an optional extension which I refused to setup or install when it asked me I think.
I'm just speculating, if anyone uses git or github or both inside VS then they can correct me.
Also delete the hidden .vs folder too to clean things up completely (a reclone over existing repo might not delete it)
