Okay, so you have a scenario where you have a lot of Breakpoints:

 

And you want to disable all your Breakpoints everywhere in the current project.  What do you do?

 

You can go to Debug -> Disable All Breakpoints:

 

Or, in the Breakpoints Window, you can click the Enable or disable Breakpoints button:

 

 

 

The result, in all cases, is the same.  It disables all Breakpoints in the current project:

 

To enable them again just go to Debug -> Enable All Breakpoints on the Menu Bar:

 

Or click the Enable or Disable Breakpoints button in the Breakpoints Window again:

  Thanks Zain it worked, but do you have any idea way I can't see the menu' voice under Debug/Windows ? And the voices Enable/Disable All Breakpoint ? Seem as all the management of the breakpoints disappeared but the "Delete all breakpoints". I'm sure there was few days ago. Thanks again ;)

  Piroco -- it's possible you accidentally modified the menu somehow.  See my series this week on how to modify the menu system and just add the item back into your menu.  No clue why it isn't there now. Z
