Visual Studio Test Explorer issues after upgrade to latest Test Studio version

We just upgraded from 2012.2.1420.0 to 2015.2.715.0. Everything was working fine under the older version - but we are seeing the following issues under the new version:

a) No tests being listed in Test Explorer.  NOTE:  This happens EVEN if the test project is NOT a Test Studio project and even after a Rebuild All.  

b) Group By dropdown is empty.

c) Installation of the new Test Studio seems to have played havoc with my Visual Studio environment (previously displayed windows/panes no longer visible, etc.).

Visual Studio Version:  2012 Update 4
Test Studio Version:  2015.2.715.0

NOTE:  #1 is a critical (show-stopper) issue for us as we also support Specflow test projects for which the Test Explorer is the ONLY way to run these tests on local.

My coworker reported that the Group By dropdown contents were restored when she installed the NUnit Test Adapter - but went away the next time she reopened Test Studio.  The tests still did not show up in the Test Explorer - even for non-Test Studio projects.

I would have to respectfully disagree ...  

As I mentioned above, this issue *did not exist* before I started the uninstall/reinstall.  The only thing that I did before the issue appeared was to uninstall the old version of Test Studio and installed the new version of Test Studio.  So either the uninstall of the old version of Test Studio or the install of the new Test Studio version that is changing something inside the Visual Studio install (registry, configuration files, or something else?) which is resulting in this issue.

Moreover, the issue is NOT fixed by uninstalling the new version of Test Studio, a repair install of Visual Studio or an uninstall/reinstall of Visual Studio.  We are now trying to do a clean uninstall of Visual Studio (uninstall all VS components other than VS Ultimate) and reinstall to see if that will bring back the Test Explorer functionality - will let you know what happens.

Also, when you say "latest Visual Studio changes", are you referring to VS 2015?  If so, we are not using that version.  We are using VS 2012 Update 4 and have been doing so for quite some time - like I said, we had no such issues with the previous version of Test Studio that we were using (TS 2012.2.1420.0).

We do have an active support ticket logged (963717) for this issue - that ticket references this one for details of the issue.  I request that this issue be reopened (because no solution has been found yet) and kept open until a solution is found.

Telerik: these issues seem not related to Test Studio to me, but to latest Visual Studio changes. Please follow Test Studio specific problems with our support system (http://www.telerik.com/account/support-tickets/available-support-list), where we can dig into more details and help you out.

In case this helps with troubleshooting, I am seeing the following error message in the Output window in the Tests category after every build (in local).

IUnitTestStorage.Open should be called before operation can continue.

A couple of corrections/clarifications:

a) Group By dropdown is in the toolbar of the Test Explorer window.  It is the one that allows you to filter the tests shown by Outcome, Project, etc.

b) Correction in the last paragraph:  the Group By dropdown contents went away after Visual Studio (not Test Studio) was reopened.
