Why does Visual Studio 2017 open Windows "For developers" settings on startup?

Question

Every time I start VS 2017 (Enterprise) on Windows 10, it opens the Settings > Update & security > For developers screen. Why does it do this, and how can I prevent it?

Installed workloads:

• .NET desktop
• UWP
• .NET mobile (Xamarin)

I don't recall changing anything else during installation.

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem when opening a Xamarin project. (Maybe it's related to the configuration request of the Xamarin Mac Agent)

I've found that enabling the developer mode on the settings stop the panel to popup everytime.
