Visual Studio 2015 RTM - Debugging not working

I have installed VS 2015 RTM (nothing else) and I'm unable to debug any solution, not matter if it's an existing one or a brand new one (created with VS 2015 and compiled against .Net Framework 4.6), it only opens a new tab in VS which is called Break Mode with the following text: The application is in break mode Your app has entered a break state, but no code is executing that is supported by the selected debug engine (for e.g. only native runtime code is executing). And if I check the Debug --> Module Window: VS2015Test.vshost.exe no symbols loaded (even if I click load symbol it does not work) VS2015Test.exe symbols loaded

And it also doesn't show the output on the console(it's a console application that just has the following lines of code:

class Program
{
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("TEST");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

I tried to reinstall VS 2015, restarted the computer, deleted all files in %temp%/AppData/Microsoft/Visual Studio/14, started VS in Admin Mode but nothing seems to work.

One thing which makes debugging working is this option: Tools --> Options --> Debugging --> Use Managed Compability Mode

^^But that can't be the solution to use an old/legacy mode.

BTW: Debugging in VS 2013 is working fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

In my case this solution is useful:

Solution: Disable the "Just My Code" option in the Debugging/General settings.

I was having this same problem with VS2015. I reset the settings, as suggested but still had trouble.

What I had to do to fix it was check "Use Managed Compatibility Mode" and "Use Native Compatibility Mode". Not sure which of those 2 is necessary but checking both and I no longer get the Break Mode issue.

Thought I would post this in case it helps anyone. I installed a clean Win 10 and Visual Studio 2015, tried to debug an existing solution and had problems. Followed some advice listed here and other places but none worked.

How I got the debugging to work as normal was to change the Solution Configuration just below the menus. I had it set previously to Release mode, changed this to Debug and then cleaned/recompiled and hey presto, debugging started working as normal. See the image for info:
