No DOM Explorer or JS Console in Visual Studio 2017 - Debugging Office Add-In Excel


I can't figure out how to get the DOM Explorer or JS Console to show on my Office Add-In I'm dev in VS 2017. They used to work and one day, just stopped.

So far I've tried the following:

  • Test Proj at home and copied source files to non working work computer
  • Removed 100% Visual Studio and re-installed
  • Started working w/ new template in VS 2017 vs my existing Project
  • Tried messing w/ .Net versions
  • Updated all available Nuget packages
  • Other settings too likely, I'm willing to start fresh if anyone has suggestions that don't work first try for me.

I'm at a loss what the issue could be. My Add-Ins load and behave correctly, but I can't see the DOM or JS console which is the whole reason I use VS 2017, any ideas what I can try?
