Disabling Live Player in Visual Studio

Question

I would like to disable the Xamarin Live player in Visual Studio.

The Live Player is no use of me since my app uses CustomRenderers and other things that the Live Player can't do.

It's time-consuming to always select the correct device for debugging. And quite frequently I accidentally use the Player.

Is there a way to completely uninstall, or if not, disable the Xamarin Live Player?

Answer 1

Visual Studio for Windows

Tools / Options / Xamarin / Other :
