Hi Greg,

First thing I’d be checking the following:
Debugging -> Options -> Enable Just My Code. Make sure that is checked.

Subject: Re: Visual Studio breaking everywhere

I ran fresh searches this morning and went (again) through all the VS 2017 
Options related to debugging but I just can't figure out how to turn off breaks 
in Exceptions inside the .NET class libraries.

I just got another one... a NullReferenceException inside System.Web.dll and 
I'm prompted to load System.Web.pdb from somewhere. I tried loading the symbols 
for the hell of it, but it changed nothing. I really want to stop these sorts 
of breaks completely.

There must be an option somewhere, but I can't find it.

This isn't the only thing that changed on Monday morning when I sat down. 
Hitting F5 to run web apps now opens the app in a new tab in an existing Edge 
browser, and when I close the tab the debugger keeps running. Last week it used 
to open a new browser instance and debugging stopped when I closed the browser.

I understand in the mobile world that I don't own anything and I can pick up 
the phone one morning and it will have completely changed colours, gestures, 
textures, icons and behaviour, but I don't expect this sort of thing creeping 
into the desktop world. It's so bad in recent years that every morning I hit 
the power on button on my work PC I say a mental prayer that it will boot 
normally and nothing will be expectedly broken. I call this new syndrome 
"Mondayitis", where some suddenly breaks on Monday morning.

The worst case I'm still suffering from is when I found that all sound 
recording stopped on Monday morning back in May. I have devoted 20+ man-hours 
to the problem since then and asked friends and searched until my fingers 
bleed, but my Windows 10 work PC simply stopped recording audio.

At any given time in the home/office there are multiple things wrong with 
multiple computers that are completely mysterious and intractable. All the care 
and cleanliness in the world seems to make to difference, it's like all 
computer hardware and software in the modern world is teetering on the edge of 
chaotic collapse.
