Cannot find how to get to this "Project Defaults" section "in the General pane in the Property Pages."

Question

On this page in the documentation, it describes a "Project Defaults" section on some ephemeral "Debug Property Pages" page in some properties setting dialog, shown below:

However, the documentation gives no explanation whatsoever as to how to get to said "Project Defaults"

How do I get to this "Project Defaults" section? Does it even still exist?

Visual Studio 2019 with standard C++ workspace installed.

because these are project settings, you need to load a c++ project in VS. select the project in the solution window, then right click and select properties. then pick debug.
