Answer 1

I had the same problem after the most recent VS 2017 update (released March 14, 2017: build 26228.09). My program would debug fine in IE but would bomb out in Chrome. Killing all instances of Chrome within the Windows command line fixed the problem for me.

taskkill /im chrome.exe /f

I was then able to debug in Chrome.
