Upgrade from vs2019 to vs2022 causes freeze of esp32 (Read 2201 times)

	After upgrading vs2019 to vs2022, and installing the correct vmicro version, my esp32 dev board freezes when trying to debug. The build in release mode runs fine, but in debug mode (serial debug enabled) the board freezes, even after restarting the board disconnected from the computer. Only way to bring it back to life is deploy a release build. On the same computer, closing vs2022 and running vs2019, all works as expected.

	Thanks for the updated logs. Also try updating the ESP32 board package to the latest (2.0.4), it may improve the situation. Can you attach a screenshot of the whole IDE when it is debugging and frozen, with the output window open?

	updating the ESP32 board package: What is the best way to do that? When i try to update from vmicro UI, it looks like there 's no update available, maybe i look in the wrong direction?

	If you press the "Check for Updates" button this should update the list with the latest. If you can only see up to v1.0.6 still, try changing the URL on the vMicro > General > IDE Locations screen to the one below, which includes all latest releases: Code https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

	Thanks, i updated the board succesfully. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem. Here is a screenshot of the freezing situation, the esp dev board is unresponsive now (no display). Done in vs2022, in debug mode

	Thanks for the update. 1) Can you try running the debugging with the same board with the simple "Blink" sketch? 2) Please state what speed the Serial.begin() in your code is using? Also state if you set the speed in the serial monitor yourself or via the debugger menu?

	The issue is solved. Indeed, Blink did work properly. I upgraded all the libraries. After that, the behaviour changed, the esp dev board keeps rebooting, so it imediately crashes before entering the loop. It occurred i had some old code that tried to set the LIGHT_LOAD_BIT, it seems not to be correct (wrong address perhaps) that was called in the setup routine. After disabling that, everything runs fine. Still weird that on vs2019 it worked like a charm. Thanks so much for your support.
