Visual Studio 2017 "The application is in break mode visual studio 2017"

Question

I was working on a C# console app and it was working fine until yesterday. When I am trying to run the same console application, it is not allowing me to debug, saying error as "The application is in break mode. Your app has entered a break state, but no code is currently executing that is supported by the selected debug engine (e.g. only native runtime code is executing)."

Did anyone faced a similar issue and resolved it earlier.

Answer 1

I encountered this issue in a console app that was using a custom config section. See configSections element: If this element is in a configuration file, it must be the first child element of the configuration element.

Making the configSections element the first child of the configuration element resolved the issue.
