While I have done more than a few asp.net web apps. This problem is a first for me. After an upgrade from win 7 to win 10 All my references became FUBARed. The only way I could fix it is was to rebuild the solution from the ground up. So far so good Everything build cleanly with now warnings and CTRL-F5 runs the app with out issue. however if if I press F5 to debug the browser opens and then closes in a blink of the eye. no errors no nothing. any thoughts

What I have tried:

shutting down and rebooting. confirming the debug flag is set to true in the web config

Ok, Found a fix. In Tools/Options/debugging I unchecked 'enable edit and continue' and now I can run the web app with F5. I have no idea how it got checked because in the past(like the other day) when debugging I would sometimes forget when at a break point and start typing in the editor only to have VS tell me I can't edit while in debug
