Approach 1: Clear the cache folders

How to Clear Your SharePoint Designer 2010/2013 Cache.

  • Navigate to the "File" menu then select "Options" -> "General" -> "Application Options".
  • On the “General” tab, under the “General” heading, uncheck “Cache site data across SharePoint Designer sessions”.

If you've just deployed some custom workflow activities to your site, this will probably solve your problem (and you should clear the cache folders every time you deploy custom activities). If the error occurs spontaneously, this approach often won't help.

Approach 2: Reinstall SharePoint Designer

This might work if you've got a preview version of SharePoint Designer installed. If not, it's unlikely to help. It didn't work for me, and it didn't work for countless others on the forums.

Approach 3: Install SharePoint Designer on another machine

This one kind of annoys me... it usually works, but it's hardly a practical solution to the problem.
