    I get an error and can then not start VS due to broken VS.

    To restart i have to reinstall VS, from the Unity install.

    What should i do?

    Thanks for your solution, missing steps though; for MAC users, if can be of help, "update" consists in:
    1. Exit Unity & Visual Studio
    2. Remove Visual Studio from your Application Folder
    3. Download & execute Unity installer
      1. UnityDownloadAssistant-2018.1.8f1.dmg in this case
    4. Reinstall only the needed packages: Visual Studio in my case because my other packages were already updated
    5. Unity will open automatically and everything should be fine, now

    I still have this issue, even with Unity open. Guess I just can't update VS. These errors appear in the console:
