    If the Build.Deploy Solution/Project menu item is missing or grayed-out then this is likely due to corruption of the MEF Component Cache.
    To resolve this issue, the MEF Component Cache needs to be cleared via one of the following options
    1. installing the Visual Studio extension Clear MEF Component Cache from theVisual Studio Marketplace
    2. manually deleting the cache files located at %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<nn>\ComponentModelCache
    Visual Studio needs to be restarted after clearing the cache.
