Hi
I use VS 2022 version 17.6.5; My project is Win32 platform, My problem is when changing a file and then pressing F5 to run the project ( in Debug) the modified file is NOT compiled and VS uses previous build file so I have to use Rebuild menu to build entire project ! How solve this problem ? I think I changed some settings in VS options that cause this issue but I'm not sure!
Thanks

Or update your VS2022 to the latest version.

2023-08-18T08:25:00.9133333+00:00 Does a newly created project rebuild when using Run after a source code change? If yes, then copy the source files into a new project and abandon the old one.
