Even after closing VS, I still have mutliple (around 200) instances of the vsjitdebugger processes bogging down my system. Does anyone know how to prevent these from sticking in memory? I have to reboot in order to get rid of them.

Hi,

The Just-In-Time debugging is a feature that launches the Visual Studio debugger automatically when the program encounters a fatal error outside Visual Studio.

The VSJITDebugger.exe program as the debugger by default when a managed application throws an unhandled exception. For more information, see http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archive/2004/07/15/184490.aspx.

If we don’t want to run this program, we can delete the following registry keys to disable Just-In-Time debugging:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\Debugger
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger

I hope this helps. 

Thanks for your reply, but it was actually a program that I couldn't see because I was logged in using RDP. Once I logged into the actual console, I could see the error and resolve it that way.
