Tasks Window missing

Question

I'm trying to debug my code inside of an async Task. I've heard Tasks, parallel stacks, and parallel watch windows can be used to do that. However, when I open Debug --> Windows, I see none of those. I also tried searching in the global search tool (Ctrl + Q), but no results there either.
Do I need to install some extension/package in the VS Installer, am I missing something else, or is this a bug?

Hello @Vakho Akobia ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Perhaps you can try to set several breakpoints first and then start debugging and see if these windows which you mentioned will display.

Please refer to this document Using the Tasks Window (C#, Visual Basic, C++) for Tasks window, and refer to this document Use the Parallel Stacks window for Parallel Stacks window, and refer to this document To display the Parallel Watch window for Parallel Watch window.

Just using a C++ application and setting some breakpoints then clicking Debug > Start Debugging. Here is my test(screenshot).
