When debugging a C# application in Visual Studio 2015, Diagnostic Tools starts automatically. I unchecked both checkboxes in Select Tools, but it doesn't seem to completely disable it.

How do I turn it off (and on again later)?

If you want to disable the feature altogether you can currently do so from Tools → Options → Debugging → General → Enable Diagnostics Tools while debugging

    Thank you. I needed to restart VS before change took affect – RobCroll Apr 15 '16 at 01:15

    I often accidently click the "elapsed time" link. So I just disable this link by unticking "Show elapsed time PerfTip while debugging" – CrazyTim Aug 04 '16 at 00:37

    For me it worked without restarting VS after changing the setting in Tools -> Options. – RBT Oct 29 '16 at 02:55

    @CrazyTim Thanks! This is what I basically wanted to disable since it's mostly completely irrelevant but quite distracting when debugging. – Andreas Aug 22 '18 at 06:16
