You really need to provide more information and context describing on how you got to the error when expecting answers from the community. — Pierre, Aug 13 '14 at 07:10

This only hides the error, what actaully is the problem? – Joel Harkes Dec 01 '15 at 10:58

This is more ignoring the problem than solving it. If you need to debug into .net framework code for some reason (Unity...), you'll have to reactivate the setting and this exception will keep nagging you. It would be better to actually understand the root cause and solve the issue. – rlesias Dec 07 '16 at 08:15
Upgrading from Visual Studio 2017 15.4 and 15.5 somehow turned off "Just My Code' - this solved it for me – jingtao Feb 22 '18 at 04:40

In my case with IIS Express, it was caused by its inability to write to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files as IIS Express runs by a current user. So I've added permission to write to it for the current user to solve the error.
