Visual Studio 2008 Bug - F10 not stepping through any code?

Question

When I go into debugging, normally when you hit a break point you can press f10 to continuously step through the code, but when I press f10, it does nothing and it highlights the file dropdown at the top as if im hitting the alt key.

another issue is when i try to move over variables and click the + to expand into them they just disappear... I have reset my personal settings to default and to a backup from awhile ago and i can't seem to figure out why this is happening or what to do to fix it.

Answer 1

You probably don't have the update kb957912 installed. That should solve the F10 issue

EDIT: After browsing the net, I found this about the x64: 64 or 32 bit. It says that for the x64 you need to install the Remote Debugger.

I'm guessing this doesn't help much, but you can also give it a try.

Answer 2

Looks like the issue was with multiple projects having the option for starting to do nothing and wait for a request. somehow this was messing up my debugger.
