Clearly something messed-up your installation like changed or deleted some path. the easy way to solve it is just reinstall or run repair of VS. – Pedro.The.Kid

Right-click on the Visual Studio Command Prompt shortcut and then select Run as Administrator

Run below command 

devenv /installvstemplates
devenv /resetsettings

UPDATE:

This switch is supported only for Visual Studio partner development, and is not available in Express editions. You must run devenv as an administrator in order to use the /Setup (devenv.exe) and /InstallVSTemplates (devenv.exe) switches. For more information, see User Permissions and Visual Studio.

This may not work on the express version. If you have a Professional or Ultimate version of VS, try running the installer again. Then choose "Modify" option, and select "Windows Phone 8.0 SDK" from the list.
