With a clean installation the Edit and Continue should be enabled by default.

If you have upgraded from a previous version, you will need to set all three of the following in your projects Property Page:

  1. Under C/C++ -> General, set the "Debug Information Format" to “Program Database for Edit and Continue (/ZI)”
  2. Under the Linker -> General, set "Enable Incremental Linking" to “Yes (/INCREMENTAL)”.
  3. Under Debug -> General, (under the "Enable Edit and Continue”) enable the "Native Edit and Continue"

I believe it may be connected with default linker options that are not compatible with EnC. You can find some helpful information in this answer How to ensure that the /EDITANDCONTINUE directive is not ignored
