Inspecting STL container not working right

Question

Since Update 3 of Visual Studio 2015, I have the problem that the Inspector won't show me the informations like the string content of an std::wstring in the first place. I had to open the Inspector first to see the string. I tried to fixed the problem with this question but it don't work. Also std::string, std::vector<T>, etc. don't work and only show {...}.

Screenshot (Instead of {...} there should be something like L"Hello"):

Are you using a `std::string` or `std::wstring`. `L""` is for wide characters. — NathanOliver, Aug 31 '16 at 16:52
@NathanOliver I'm using std::wstring but this problem also happens with std::string. For clarification, I edit it to std::wstring — DogeAmazed, Aug 31 '16 at 16:54

Somehow Visual Studio destroyed itself with the Update 3. I had to reinstall the English Language Pack and set it in Visual Studio (before it was German and there was no option for English). Now it works.
