How Do I disable the source Server Code preview when debugging

Question

This has been a problem for me since I updated Visual studios.

For reference I am Currently on Visual Studios Professional 2022 17.11.5

With recent updates, it appears that Microsoft has introduced a new feature that opens a code editor with previously saved version of a .cs file while debugging. For context, this file is displayed as a "Preview" and the resides under AppData/Local/SourceServer. The problem is that this code editor is opened every time I try to set a break point while debugging a module that I have modified in the code editor. Originally, when the break was set in the target code editor it would display a warning along the lines of "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. The source code is different from the original version.". For me this is the preferred behavior, I use custom tools to load the each build into the app domain and need to able to set breakpoints in advance. How can I revert back to this behavior?

Hi @gklein, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

The issue has been fixed in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.10.6, you could see the similar issue:

If it persists, you can try the following workarounds:

1. Go to Tools > Options > Debugging > General > uncheck Enable Source Link support.
2. Go to Tools > Options > Debugging > General > uncheck Enable source server support.
3. Go to Tools > Options > Debugging > General > check Require source files to exactly match the original version.
4. Go to Tools > Options > Debugging > General > check Enable Just My Code.
5. Roll back VS to previous version by opening Visual Studio Installer > More > Rollback to previous version.
6. Report it to product team by selecting “Help” menu > Send Feedback. 

Sincerely,

Anna
