Visual Studio Debugging

Old development environment;

Windows 7
Visual Studio 2010
I.E (default browser)

New development environment;

Windows 10
Visual Studio 2010
Edge (default browser)

Under old env. whenever I ran a web-app debugging session, the app. would open I.E. When I closed the I.E. browser, the Visual Studio debugging session would also end automatically.

Under new env. when I close the Edge browser, the Visual Studio debugging session stays active. I have to select Debug/Stop Debugging from the menu to stop the debugging session.

I've looked everywhere but can't find a setting to have closing the browser also close the Visual Studio debugging session.

Thanks for your help.

I saw similar behaviour with Chrome. One possible solution is to select the Menu option Debug -> Attach to Process and then select MIcrosoft Edge exe - if you don't see this process you may have to ensure 'Show processes in all sessions' is checked.

Notice that VS2015 works OK with MS Edge. It may be that VS2010 does not handle Edge _ keep in mind that Edge is different to IE and is a brand new browser.

Miguel - thank you for your suggestions. VS 2010 doesn't seem to have the Debug->Attach to Process option. I've found the same problem when using Windows 7 and Chrome as the default browser with both VS2010 and VS2012.
