this is my tiny project
 Using System.Configuration;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
namespace UnitTestProject1
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
            Assert.AreEqual(1,1);
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod2()
            Assert.AreEqual(2, 1);

Hi Howard Davis,
Could you tell us the real VS2013 version you were using? We have to make sure that it supports the unit test project.

We could open the test explorer window under Test menu->Windows.
Before you run your test, please clean and rebuild your test project, and make sure no any warning or error, and then run it from the test explorer window, check the result.
In addition, you would check your task manager, and make sure that it is free before you run your tests. I mean that we have to make sure that it is not the performance issue.
But if a simple Assert method still doesn't work in your side, I doubt that it is your VS IDE issue.
Run your VS as the admin, check the result.
If possible, please repair your VS, please also install the VS2013 update 4, and then create a new test project, check the result.
Best Regards,
Jack
