  • Welcome to Stackoverflow! Can you please elaborate your question having your effort like code or something so that people could get your problem early and help you? Thanks! – Enamul Hassan Apr 01 '16 at 10:03
  • I'm getting this too, extremely frustrating. Previously once my mvc website had started debugging, I could stop debugging and continue using the site. If I made a C# code change I'd hit rebuild, and the change would be on the localhost website once I hit refresh. Basically my work pattern was: Do some changes, rebuild, give localhost website a quick test to see if change functions as expected After Update 2, regardless if Enable Edit & Continue is on or off, the website won't be available unless I'm in debug mode – mejobloggs Apr 04 '16 at 01:29

    I tried fix it by 'repair installation' Visual Studio, did not help – Michał Baster Apr 04 '16 at 10:10

    I am experiencing the same issue. Disabling "Edit and Continue" did not help. – Diego Apr 05 '16 at 07:16

    I've [submitted a bug report to Microsoft](https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/2562576/edit-continue-cant-be-disabled-which-causes-iis-express-to-stop-when-the-debugger-is-stopped). Please upvote it! – TheCloudlessSky Apr 21 '16 at 20:30

This work-around is working for me. Instead of hitting the "Stop" debugging button, go to the Debug menu item and select "Detach All". This will detach VS from IIS Express, but leave it up and running.

You have to use Debug -> Detach All button instead.
How to add "Detach All" button inside of "Stop":

1-
add "Detach All" button inside of "Stop"
2-
add "Detach All" button inside of "Stop"
3-
add "Detach All" button inside of "Stop"
4-
add "Detach All" button inside of "Stop"

Update:
In Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 you have Enable Edit & Continue in project's properties again.

This issue has been resolved in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. Read the release notes here.

Web Developer Tools

For ASP.NET Web Application projects, when "Enable Edit and Continue" checkbox is unchecked, the IIS Express process will no longer stop every time you stop debugging.
