C++ application run only when use local windows debugger, not which exe file

When I use Local Windows Debugger in Visual Studio 2017 my application runs and works, but when I try run my .exe file I get an error like:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Debug Error!
abort() has been called
(Press Retry to debug the application".

When I click Retry button my computer hangs.

I tried changing the SDK version and Platform Toolset but that was unsuccessful.

I use c++ language in Console. This is quite big project which I got from another developer. How can I repair it?

Solution

  • Be sure to clean the solution and recompile it.

    If you compile it with debug mode you can attach the visual studio debugger to the external running application. Docs
