Visual Studio 2017 fails to debug after Windows 10 Version 1703 update

Question

My solution debugged yesterday.

Today after the update, it won't connect to the port being used by VS.

I can connect to localhost but not localhost:xxxxx

Need a solution asap please Microsoft.

Answer 1

For anyone who comes across this, after trying loads of suggestions via Googling, the only thing that worked was deleting the hidden vs folder in each of my solutions. Open with Visual Studio 2017 and it obviously rebuilds this folder and hey presto works.

Microsoft.................TAKE NOTE..................it's not just consumers who use your products, it's DEVELOPERS as well. So can you PLEASE notify us of the updates which may affect the work we do so we can have a fighting chance of rectifying the mess you leave us in.

If I could find a way of doing it, I'd bill you for the £500 I lost today...............................!!!!!!!!
