I hope someone can help as this is becoming extremely frustrating for something that should be very simple!!
I have recently upgraded to a new laptop from Windows 7 and VS2010 to Windows 8 and VS2013 and all I want to do is attach VS2013 to the w3wp process so I can debug my application which is running on the same machine. But everytime I try to do this I get a error stating:
"Unable to attach to the process. The Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor does not appear to be running on the remote computer. etc..."
Firstly why is it trying to use the remote debugger? All this is running on my local machine. Is this something to do with the fact Windows 8 uses live.com for its login? If so is there a way round this or do I have to create a local user account and drop using my live.com account to login? Secondly I can only see the w3wp process when I check the see processes from all users checkbox, I double checked on my old laptop and I can see the w3wp process without ticking this same box.
Everything is setup pretty much out the box but its driving me mad and I've already lost over a day of dev time trying to get this basic process to work! Any help would be appreciated, I'm quite willing to accept it maybe something I've missed or not done and after hours of google searches I cant find a single thing thats related to this problem.
