Unable to start debugging because the object invoked has disconnected from its clients
I'm running Visual Studio 2012 (version 11.0.61030.00 update 4). When debugging a local console application I get the following error when I start debugging (F5):
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
This only happens if I leave visual studio alone without debugging for a couple minutes. If I close visual studio and re-open the error goes away (until I leave it untouched for another couple of minutes). Has anyone experienced this? I can't find any threads of other people experiencing it.
This may be a possible answer for the problem.
Some from the answer:
- Check which files were changed (why and how) after update from a source control engine
- Review the list of extensions and plugins. Try to disable all or some of them
- Close Visual Studio and kill all the development processes:
devenv, mspdbsrv, vcpkgsrv, msbuild, msvsmon, vshub, vstestetc - Remove
.suo, .ncb, .VC.db, .VC.VC.opendbfiles of the solution as well as.vsdirectory, which sometimes cause problems - Remove project setting files, sort of
YourProjectName.vcproj.DOMAINNAME.LOGINNAME.userorYourProjectName.csproj.user. The setting file name depends on a project kind you use - Run
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setupor"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setupfor x64 environment
Just Close the VIsual Studio and start again the project.Its work Perfectly for me. Thanks
While restarting Visual Studio does provide a workaround, it doesn't solve the actual problem. In my case, I was working with a C# solution in VS2017 and the following resolved the issue:
- Close Visual Studio
- Delete the .vs folder that was created in the Solution's directory
- Re-open the Solution
