Description of the problem:
Whenever an exception is thrown and not displayed, a dialog box appears. I want Visual Studio Express 2012 to simply break down and stop capturing all my data using this modal dialog box. Dialog example: 
Solution Required:
VS 2010 does not show this annoying popup, but something is called a troubleshooting assistant. How can I get the same gap in exceptions in 2012 as in 2010? Even if this is not possible, I really want the popup to be gone , keeping the break.
What I tried to solve this problem:
- Find a solution for both Google and StackOverflow (some of the keywords that I used: visual studio 2012, pop-up, window, dialog, exception, exception, break)
- Start repair on VS 2012
- Delete and delete the settings (folder: C: \ Users \ <username> \ Documents \ Visual Studio 2012), and then install
- Tools β Import and Export Settings β βReset all settingsβ
- Include "Throw on exception type exception"
- Change the settings in: "Tools β Options β Debugging β General"
Edit:
I am using the express version, without the removal assistant anymore ! :(
Edit2:
A (very ugly) workaround was discovered using AutoHotkey:
#SingleInstance force #Persistent loop { WinWaitActive, Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop WinClose, Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop } return
