How to skip the Debug Assertion Failed and break directly in Visual Studio

I'm working with some C++, and I had a typo in my code causing this. In the future I'd rather Visual Studio would break directly on the faulty code when running in DEBUG MODE directly from Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition), with the actual expression, rather than showing me this annoying prompt.

Is there a setting for this somewhere?

You could do it programmaticaly by setting report mode:

_CrtSetReportMode(_CRT_ASSERT, _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG);

The required header is <crtdbg.h>.
