Hello Folks: I'm using Visual Studio Community on Windows 10 Pro to develop C++ code.
Yesterday my copy of Visual Studio learned a new trick when I'm debugging code.
Any integer variable displayed in a watch window or being hovered over is displayed as base 16, not base 10.
I clicked on Debug > Options... > Debugging > General but I don't see anything that looks like it's causing the problem.
I downloaded the latest Visual Studio, Version 17.8.6. The problem persists.Any suggestions?
Thanks
Larry

    Try to right-click the Watch or Locals window, and select “Hexadecimal Display”.
