My co-worker encountered a bug today using Visual Studio 2022 that has long been a "solved problem" here on Stack overflow. The problem is a dialog that appears every time she debugs our application

Annoying dialog

The accepted SO solution (found here and here, and other places) is for the user to change the General Debug Options to "Use Managed Compatibility Mode".

Unfortunately, I no longer see that option in VS 2022 General Debug Options.

Did the option just move elsewhere or is it gone? If it's gone, is there another way to prevent this dialog from showing?

    I would consider fixing the underlying problem. It appears that either you have a very complex expression in one of your watch windows or you do some complex reflection tasks inside a properties `get` method. – PMF Jan 25 '22 at 20:15
  • Neither of those, unfortunately. And she is the only one who gets the error. – Joe Jan 25 '22 at 21:04
  • I suppose you have tried to clean the solution, and all the other obvious things if a problem happens only on one computer? – PMF Jan 25 '22 at 21:09
  • I am told by the co-worker that she has but I wasn't watching over her shoulder. After she told me that I took her word for it and searched here. I found the workaround and then wondered why it was no longer available. So I posted my question. Then someone (you?) posted that it was fixed in 17.0.5 and she was on 17.0.4 so she's updated. The comment it gone now but I had her update. If it persists I'll watch her do all the clean stuff that I would normally do. – Joe Jan 25 '22 at 21:16

    No, that wasn't me over there. I had no idea so I posted the obvious... – PMF Jan 25 '22 at 21:21

In Visual studio 2020 go to tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General -> disable (Enable property evaluation and other implicit function calls)
