Opening included samples gives "Invalid Markup" in Visual Studio

Glad it finally worked, I don't know what could have happened to your Visual Studio solution.

Thanks to Git, I can look at how the sln changed. Here's a sample from before/after opening the Configuration Manager:

# Visual Studio 14
VisualStudioVersion = 14.0.25420.1
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 14.0.25420.1
Project("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "Samples.Scoreboard", "..\Src\Packages\Samples\Scoreboard\Projects\windows_x86_64\Samples.Scoreboard.vcxproj", "{02630D63-F00F-342C-8E4A-E398E27F31A7}"
	ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject
		{BF1FCA08-6BD8-3A23-9497-637054BE665A} = {BF1FCA08-6BD8-3A23-9497-637054BE665A}
	EndProjectSection
EndProject

After:

# Visual Studio Version 16
VisualStudioVersion = 16.0.30804.86
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 14.0.25420.1
Project("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "Scoreboard", "..\Src\Packages\Samples\Scoreboard\Projects\windows_x86_64\Samples.Scoreboard.vcxproj", "{02630D63-F00F-342C-8E4A-E398E27F31A7}"
	ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject
		{BF1FCA08-6BD8-3A23-9497-637054BE665A} = {BF1FCA08-6BD8-3A23-9497-637054BE665A}
	EndProjectSection
EndProject

It seemed to remove the "Samples." part of the project names. Not sure why, but thought I'd share.

This is super weird because changing the project name (why is Visual doing that...) shouldn't affect at all.
