Remote debugging an azure function's Startup in VS 2022

I have this error in my function's app Error configuring services in an external startup class.

I started a remote debugging session successfully using this guide, and is working. The thing is everytime I re-start the app in the portal, the connection gets lost, so I am unable to reach a desired point in a Configuration method.

Is there any way to debug a startup method?

Solution
