Expression Watch Window

For some reason the 'Expressions Watch Window' has decided to keep popping up any time the serial monitor is opened or when the connection is restarted after uploading new code. Of course it slaws pops up right on top of the serial monitor.

I can move it out of the way and it will stay there as long as the serial monitor stays open but if the monitor is closed and reopened it is right in the way again.

I can't seem to find an option to turn it off and I do not have watches set on any variables nor am I using any breakpoints.

Switch from Debug to Release and then build and upload.

If the expression watch opens then it means your last upload was in debug mode.

ps: All tool windows can be pinned or minized, they will retain the position you put them in.

Thanks. For some reason my mind was set on that it was part of the com window as a form of tutorial as it popped up about the same time the tutorial mode seemed to turn itself on. I did get it docked to the VS main window.

Thanks for the update. The serial window drives the serial debugger so when serial starts then debug also starts, debug stops when the serial ends. Using Release mode makes sense unless debugging then the expressions window is very useful.

ps: Tutorial Mode is On for all users by default.
