While mid debugging, what's the proper way to force exit debug mode. I didn't see the usual red square "stop" button like visual studio or eclipse.
Maybe key combination "Ctrl+F2" can help you.

I have a running application that crashes with "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in ..." dialog. This only contains full-fledged Visual Studio in the available debuggers list even though Visual Studio Code is installed.
I would rather use vscode as it is my main dev environment.
How can I add it to the "Choose Just-In-Time Debugger" window's "Available Debuggers" list?
Update:
I found where the setting exists in the registry, with an example of how to set WinDbg as the debugger instead of Visual Studio.
https://www.codeproject.com/articles/6084/windows-debuggers-part-1-a-windbg-tutorial#_Toc64133667
and
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/configuring-automatic-debugging
Remaining step is to determine how VS Code's debugger likes to be invoked.
(I'm still open to cleaner ways to do this, however.)
Update 2:
Nearest I can tell, this last step is the big deal breaker.
According to this feature request:

It doesn't look like the team at Microsoft is interested in making that an option. :_(
This started happening today for a Visual Studio 2013 project but I have seen it now and then over the years in other Visual Studio versions.
Running a debug build and for some unknown reason aborts stop raising the message dialog that allows you to break and debug and instead you simple get a message in the output window and the program terminates.
R6010
- abort() has been called
The program '[9408] test_explode.exe' has exited with code 3 (0x3).
Over many years as a C++ developer this gremlin pops up now and then and I always forget how I solve it and can't see what the cause was. I'm sure someone can shed more light on what's happening and the correct fix and at a minimum I'll at least add my own notes.
A manual call to _set_error_mode(_OUT_TO_MSGBOX) somewhere in my program restores the correct behaviour. So it appears the default error mode is being set wrong by some compiler option or Visual Studio setting? I'm just not sure what.
All Debug->Exception settings are enabled.
I know there are several VS keyboard shortcuts for running unit tests, but the one I really can't find and would like is to be able to run the last executed test in debug mode.
Ctrl+R, L will repeat the last run, but not in debug mode.
If you are debugging a test, and it changes context to the code you are actually running, and then you stop the test, is there a way to start that test in debug mode again using just the keyboard?
I wanted the same thing.
Based on the technique found in the following post
Visual Studio 2012 debug tests keyboard shortcut
I searched for TestExplorer.DebugSelectedTests and assigned a shortcut key to it.
At least in VS2015 (and hopefully in VS 2013) even while debugging changes context to the code you are actually running. The test remains selected in the test explorer window. So, you can run your shortcut key combo and the test will debug again.
Hope this solves the problem for you too.
I know this question was for Visual Studio 2013, but got google go me here.
In Visual Studio 2019 is a shortcut for that Ctrl+R,D:
If you are using ReSharper, you can use Ctrl+U, D to rerun a test in Debug mode.

Hi I am using the Microsoft Visual Studio. I started the debugging process by hitting F5. I would want to stop the debug without stopping the application(Visual Studio). Any help is appreciated.
Shift+F5 or Stop Debugging will terminate the process.
Instead you want the Detach All command from the Debug menu.
shift + F5 in keyboard shortcut or click stop debugging button at the top right corner of the visual studio
I am trying to build a MFC Windows Application with Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7. I use the "Batch build" feature of Visual Studio to get both Release and Debug of several projects' outputs with only one-click.
The problem is: Frequently, after I instruct VS 2008, some minutes later VS closes its window without any explanation. I have already seach the Web about these things and it seems that nobody as an answer.
I cannot be more specific than this. VS simply closes and you will not get any information.
Thanks in advance,
Sérgio
The best answer I could give would be to contact Microsoft directly and let them know of your problem. If there is no error information, it could be that they are not handling an exception and the program is just closing instead.
Seems that installing the patch quoted on http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/03/widely-reported-crash-in-visual-studio-2008-sp1-fixed.ars solves the issue.
