Visual Studio 2017 cannot debug or launch an application

Question

After I turned on my computer today, I was not able to debug or launch the application at all. If I publish the project, it works great. But if I run it from Visual Studio, it just got stuck in the download and Visual Studio stops responding.

Here are the errors that I get when I force an application to terminate:

Exception thrown: "System.UnauthorizedAccessException" in mscorlib.dll
Exception thrown: "System.Globalization.CultureNotFoundException" in mscorlib.dll
Exception thrown: "System.Security.SecurityException" in mscorlib.dll
The program "[6276] chrome.exe: WebKit" exited with the code -1 (0xffffffff).
The program '[8852] iisexpress.exe' exited with the code -1 (0xffffffff).

Have you ever heard something like this? I tried to find the answers, but could not find them. Also I tried on another machine and can't debug the application there.

Tried to update and reinstall all packages using Nuget.

Best wishes Solan.

We had the same problem after yesterday’s Chrome update. If you disable Javascript debugging in settings:

Options -> Debugging -> Enable Javascript Debugging in Asp.NET

Then it works fine.
