msvsmon.exe crashed when debugging

Question

When I debugging in VS2013 update3, msvsmon.exe crashed when hit at a breakpoint.

It shows \"The debugger\'s worker process (msvsmon.exe) unexpectedly exited. Debugging

Answer 1

This (or something that manifests in exactly the same way) is still an issue in VS2017. In my case it was caused by a dependency being too large to debug. The dependency in question was a generated client for a large REST API. I was able to debug again after slimming down that dependency.
