Start Without Debugging doesn't work.on my school instructor's computer.

This semester I was assigned to teach in a different room. Previously, I was able to use Start Without Debugging successfully in conjunction with Console applications. But in this room, Start Without Debugging doesn't work at all, even if I place Console.Readline at the end. I tried it both with an icon and also Ctrl-F5, but neither one works. It just quickly reverts back to the edit screen and I am forced to use Start Debugging instead.

We are using Visual Basic 2010 Express and also Visual Studio 2010, running in Windows 7.

Is there a setting I can change to make it work? Or does it need to be done in Windows? If so, I will need to notify the IT department since I don't have privilege to make changes to Windows on the school computer.

Can you run the EXE from the bin\Release folder directly?

I'm not in school now. But on my home computer, the Bin/Release folder is empty for every project I looked into.

Hmmm... I'm not sure whether Start Without Debugging executes the Release EXE or just the Debug EXE but without attaching the debugger. Maybe it's the latter.

Start Without Debugging uses the current build, starting the .exe in default bin\Debug folder for a Debug build.
