How to disable blue clock display when debugging asynchronous code?

Question

Often when debugging a fragment of asynchronous code, it gives me this blue screen on my second monitor with a clock on it. This happens often after I click Continue from a breakpoint, but sometimes it also turns into a black screen.

Using the Windows button or dragging a window on top of it removes it, but it is still pretty annoying. Can this be turned off?

I do not think you can disable this. I assume that the unit test project actually runs the application in order to be able to run tests. A similar situation occurred with Silverlight modular modules - the application must be hosted somewhere in order to be able to run the code.

Perhaps you could use something like Stardock ModernMix so that you can switch this application to run inside the window to make it a little less annoying for you.
