I have found this solutions:

• reinstall Visual Studio as adivced here, but you have already tried it

• Open your VS->Tools->Import and Export Settings Wizard->Reset all settings->No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings-> Choose a Default Collection of Settings from MSDN Forum: Debugging - hover watch has stopped working

Updated:

• maybe you have Release build configuration

• set Code Optimization property to Disabled under Project property windows
