Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to configure HTTPS endpoint (vs code)

Question

Steps to replicate error:

dotnet new webapi -o TodoApi
cd TodoApi
dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory
code -r ../TodoApi
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
Press yes on the pop-up
Press control+F5
Select .NET 5+ and .NET core
This auto generates launch.json and tasks.json

Now I press control+F5 to run the project and it gives below output:

You may only use the Microsoft .NET Core Debugger (vsdbg) with
Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio or Visual Studio for Mac software
to help you develop and test your applications.

Using launch settings from 'C:\Users\Archpo\Downloads\TodoApi\Properties\launchSettings.json' [Profile 'TodoApi']...
Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to configure HTTPS endpoint. No server certificate was specified, and the default developer certificate could not be found or is out of date.
To generate a developer certificate run 'dotnet dev-certs https'. To trust the certificate (Windows and macOS only) run 'dotnet dev-certs https --trust'.

I again run dotnet dev-certs https --trust. Then press Control+F5 - same error as above.

Answer 1

Run certmgr.msc

Expand Personal\Certificates

Delete those certificates where Friendly Name column value is ASP.NET Core HTTPS development certificate

Close the window

Run dotnet dev-certs https --trust

Go to visual studio code and press control+F5

No error reported.
