Menu
Currently I'm using the Community version of Visual Studio 2017 and having trouble finding the Watch Window using the debug menu or any other keyboard short cut methods. Does the watch window exist in VS2017 community? Or should use some other method for inspecting variable contents during debugging?

To display the Parallel Watch window Set a breakpoint in the code. On the menu bar, choose Debug, Start Debugging. Wait for the application to reach the breakpoint. On the menu bar, choose Debug, Windows, Parallel Watch, and then choose a watch window.
Select the variable a in the code. Select Debug > QuickWatch, press Shift+F9, or right-click and select QuickWatch.
It's available from Debug | Windows | Watch | Watch 1 or Ctrl + Alt + W + 1. There are 4 watch windows in Visual Studio, which you can use in different contexts (Watch 1, Watch 2, etc.). Any expression can be entered into the watch window. The same rules apply to expressions as to code.
To open the Locals window, while debugging, select Debug > Windows > Locals, or press Alt+4. This topic applies to Visual Studio on Windows.
Please look in Debug - Windows - Watch menu:
