Unable to start debugging. The startup project could not be launched. VS2015

Question

I have started a new console project in VS2015. I only have this code :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text         


        

Answer 1

Make sure you're launching Visual Studio as Administrator.

1. Right click on the Visual Studio 2015 Shortcut
2. Select the Shortcut tab
3. Click on Advanced
4. Check the box to "Run as administrator" at all times(see below)

This has resolved the issue for me with the exact error message in question.

It is not ideal to run the VS in administrator mode at all times. Make sure you un-check the box once your issue has been resolved.
