Could set data breakpoints in C++ project in VS2019, cannot in same project in VS2022

Question

Could set data breakpoints in C++ project in VS2019, cannot in same project in VS2022

William Below 1

In VS2022, New Data Breakpoint is always disabled. Debug is set to Native Only, Hot Reload is off. Are there any other settings that could prevent setting a data breakpoint?

New Data Breakpoint is always disabled

Could you be more specific, or provide screenshots without personal privacy?

If you create a new C++ console project, is it enabled there?

Yes, it is ok on a new console project. Also it is ok on an old MFC project similar in structure to the project in question. So it is some setting in my project. There is a managed project in the solution but my problem persists even when the managed project is never called.

If you open the problematic project in VS2019, is the menu item enabled there?

This same project had the menu enabled before I moved it from vs2019 to vs2022 a few weeks ago.

The same project that is giving me the problem was on vs2019 until I changed a few weeks ago. On vs2019 the menu was not disabled.

Has your project already got some data breakpoints set?
I think there are a limited number of them.

Consider copying the code to a new VS2022 project. It may be a Visual Studio bug. You can report the problem to Developer Community.

No, it the menu point is disabled from the start. Besides, if I could set the first one I wouldn't have a problem.
