Visual Studio 2017 Error --Cannot connect to runtime process

Question

I am getting this error whenever I try to debug my project from visual studio.

I tried adding these settings to launchSettings.json but still no difference.

Answer 1

I've seen this error if I don't run Visual Studio as an Administrator.

If you're not already doing so, right-click the VS icon in the start tray, right click your version of Visual Studio from the pop-up, and select "Run as administrator." Then load and run your project.
