vshost.exe still running after uncheck Enable the Visual Studio hosting process in VS2015

Question

I have a problem with the vshost.exe on running my test cases using a standalone test runner. vshost.exe is still running after I've done the following:

Clear my bin/Debug folder of the project.
Uncheck the "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process".
Restart Visual Studio.
Build the project.
Run test runner.

enter image description here

What else do I miss to kill the vshost.exe. Your response is truly appreciated.

Crystal ball says that you forgot to turn it off for the Release configuration. — Hans Passant, Jan 06 '16 at 02:12

@Airmovz what's the path to the running `vshost` - does it reside in the debug or release path? you can check this with Sysinternals `procexp`. — ivan_pozdeev, Jan 06 '16 at 02:20

From comment56995746, my guesses are you either

didn't save the settings, or
didn't rebuild, rather than build, the project
- that's because the compiled bits actually reside in obj folder (and then some are copied into bin) which you didn't clean. Rebuild makes VS disregard them.
