"How do I fix "The target process exited with code -2147023895 while evaluating the function..." error while debugging??

Question

I have come across an issue and have yet to find a "fix" for the error. While debugging and ASP.NET application using C# an error occurs about "The target process exited with code -2147023895 while evaluating the function..."

Microsoft's suggestion of disabling the property evaluation and other implicit function calls means that I can no longer properly debug. I disabled all extension to see if that helped but it did not. I "Repaired" VS using the VS installer and have also uninstalled VS 2019 and VS 2022 twice now and I am still seeing the same exact issue. I even deleted all traces of VS and created new repos to work form. Within the group of developers I work with I am the only one with this issue using the same exact code. Are there any other configurations that may be causing this issue? This is quite frustrating. I had also updated to the latest for Visual Studio as well as the Operating System. Here is the Info for my setup...

Found the answer using CoPilot...

1. Managed Compatibility Mode:
   • In some cases, enabling Managed Compatibility Mode can address debugging issues. To enable it:
   1. Go to Tools > Options.
   2. Navigate to Debugging > General.
   3. Check the box for Use Managed Compatibility Mode.
   4. Restart Visual Studio and try debugging again.

Here is what Managed Compatibility Mode is and does:

• When this mode is enabled, the debugger behaves more conservatively and avoids certain features that might cause issues with managed code debugging.
• It helps address compatibility problems that can arise due to differences between the debugger's behavior and the behavior of older versions of the .NET runtime.
• Specifically, it affects how the debugger evaluates expressions, inspects variables, and interacts with the runtime during debugging sessions.
