Visual Studio 2015 RTM - Debugging not working

Question

I have installed VS 2015 RTM (nothing else) and I\'m unable to debug any solution, not matter if it\'s an existing one or a brand new one (created with VS 2015 and compiled

Answer 1

We had this issue, after trying all other options such as deleting .vs folder, Renaming IISExpress folder name, Updating various setting on properties etc it did not work. What worked though, was uninstalling IISExpress 10.0, and Reinstalling it along with turning all IIS related features on from Windows Features. Hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

In my case this solution is useful:

Solution: Disable the "Just My Code" option in the Debugging/General settings.

Reference: c-sharpcorner

Answer 3

After installtion of vs 2017,while debugging the solution,there was an error like "Webkit has stopped functioning correctly; Visual Studio will not be able to debug your app any further.",this makes unable to proceed the debugging.To resolve this issue,Go to Tools->Options->Debugging->General then disable the javascript debugging for asp.net

Answer 4

Check the "Code Type" before attaching to a Process. For example, I had to switch from CoreCLR to v4.*

Answer 5

I had a problem similar to this when trying to use Debugger.Launch to debug a web application: the JIT Debugger Selection window never appeared. I knew it wasn't a problem with VS debugging mechanism itself because it fired just fine with a console app.

Eventually a colleague mentioned a "global debugger registry setting" which set off a light bulb.

I was using Microsoft's DebugDiag some months ago to troubleshoot IIS crashing, and I had a rule registered to capture IIS crash dumps, which obviously (in retrospect) registered the Debug Diagnostic Service as the debugger for w3wp (IIS worker process).

Removing the rule in DebugDiag, or stopping the Debug Diagnostic Service ("C:\Program Files\DebugDiag\DbgSvc.exe") re-enabled Visual Studio's JIT debugging.

Hope this helps someone.
