Are there any attributes on the class or properties?

Do you have any Visual Studio extensions installed, if so disable them using devenv /safemode.

You might try creating a simple do nothing console project with variables similar to the current project and see if inspecting variables work, if so then it's a problem related to the current project and if not, has inspecting variables every worked in the past?

I would report this in the feedback button in Visual Studio too.

Hi ihorvat7

I had exactly the same problem ad you described,

In my case, the solution was to remove an Inherited Member that was contained in the Class with the debugging showing variables error, this action solves the CS0108 warnning error and also solves the debagging problem issue you mentioned.
