Enabling javascript debugger in VS 2022 freezes application

Question

I have been searching for an answer for 2 days now so really hope someone can help.

When I try to debug my project the application freezes, nothing happens in the browser it just keeps loading and there are no error messages.

I realized that debugging works if i disable javascript debugging. But when i enable it and set a breakpoint ANYWHERE (it does not matter where) the app freezes.

My computer did an update to Windows 11 Pro in the beginning of the week.
I have not made any code changes
The application runs without errors when javascript debugging is disabled.
I downloaded my project to another computer that runs on Visual studio 2019 (and an older windows version). Then I can debug with javascript and everything works perfectly.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. Didn't pick up on the breakpoint aspect though, so thanks for pointing that bit out. — RazorUK84, Mar 15 '23 at 11:55

Same issue here, disable the feature and use chrome dev tools as a workaround. — kpg, Mar 17 '23 at 14:33
@RohitGupta using a debugger (a programming tool) is perfectly on-topic here. — Ryan M, Apr 05 '23 at 12:56

That did not work for me. :( – kpg Mar 17 '23 at 14:36
In my case it did work, I had to reboot for it to take effect – Razmi Martinez Mar 18 '23 at 12:40
I tried the solution as presented... didn't work for me. – Gfw Mar 18 '23 at 19:46
That did not work for me. I had exactly the same problem being described. I have finally fixed by, close VS, delete the .vs folder for the project, open the project again, and all working now – MCS Mar 21 '23 at 12:38
Updating chrome did the trick for me, thank you for your help though! :) @RazmiMartinez – Malin Apr 04 '23 at 06:01

It seems they have fixed it. If you have Edge Dev installed, this morning a new version has been deployed. Version 112.0.1722.15. After updating it also Edge 111.0.1661.51 (Official Builder) and Chrome 111.0.5563.110 (Official build) started to work again.

What worked for me was to delete the project .vs folder.

I also started having this problem after a windows update

I keep having to delete the .vs folder after setting one. I have found this: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Launching-Chrome-Debugger-fails-if-break/10305614 – MCS Mar 22 '23 at 11:23
