Recently I faced a critical issue when trying to debug my Silverlight application from Visual Studio. The application was running smooth, if I detach the debugger. I spent almost the entire evening to find out the cause of the issue and finally was able to resolve it. The issue was not related to Visual Studio, Silverlight Plugin, Silverlight Application, Internet Explorer but was due to un update that my system installed two days back.
If you face similar issue after the Windows Update, just go to “Control Panel –> Programs –> View Installed Updates” and search for the following “Security Update for Microsoft Windows” KB patch (KB3013126, KB3008923, KB2978120) and uninstall them one by one. I am not sure which one exactly created the issue but uninstalling all of them worked. Don’t forget to restart your system after the uninstallation process to apply the changes.
Update:
I have further investigated the issue and confirmed that, this problem is only occurring for the KB3008923 update. If you just uninstall the said update and reboot, it will work.
If you find any other alternate to the problem, don’t forget to mention it in the below comment section. I will be happy to highlight them in this post body.
