Question

I get the error 0x80004005 when I try to connect to the remote debugger ("Attach Debugger") with Visual Studio 2022 to a Web App running on Azure. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it works again when I create a new Publishing Profile, or when I delete the History of a Publishing Profile. Sometimes it connects again when I press the Refresh button in the Attach Debugger Dialogue.

Hello @Christina Quast ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

The error code indicates that some files or one certain file is missing or damaged.

Deleting and recreating(like Publishing Profile), maybe make that file available again, so it works.

Is there any limitation on your machine, for example an antivirus program, which may remove some files or interfere the connection?

Some suggestions that you can try:

1. Update OS, or using SFC tool to fix system files.
2. Clean some related caches files/folders.
3. Make sure that no limitations block the connection.
4. Make sure that the connection(maybe the network) is stable.
5. Repair VS from Visual Studio Installer => More => Repair.

Best Regards,

Tianyu
