	This started in VS2019 with extension installed. After it happened there returning to Microchip Studio it had the same problem.

	Thanks for the report. Can you confirm the below settings are set in both IDEs: vMicro > Debugger, Uncheck Automatic Software Debugging (Release/Debug) vMicro > Debugger, set to Debug: Off If you then perform a build it should work as expected. If it does not please attach a full build log from your project, with the options shown in the yellow box at the top of the page.

	Debug settings were as you specified. Did full Release build. When I click the Serial Monitor button it launches the debugger. Build file attached.

	Thanks for the update. If you perform the full Build & Upload to the board with this configuration set, it should then stop opening the Serial Debugger.

	No, it still starts the debugger. It even starts it when I first connect the usb cable to the board. It also pops up the window shown in attached. I should mention that this all started when I installed the Arduino extension into VS2019. Prior to that I was using Microchip Studio and the Serial Monitor worked as expected. But, now even Microchip Studio tries to launch the debugger. So it's some global setting that affected both IDEs.

	Are you running both IDE's at the same time? Have you clicked Save All before performing the Build & Upload (when only one IDE is open)?

	That did the trick! Thank you. Was not running both IDEs at once.
