VS debugger normally is used by the debug build and run options in the GUI. The older Intel Windows debugger is no longer supported.

If you wished to debug in release configuration, you would add debug symbols in the build options (/Zi). Some debug information would still be missing, and you could see events reordered by the compiler. The Windows OS symbols would be useful to help determine which OS functions are involved (regardless of debug or release configuration). They won't give you full information to understand what happens there. We are crossing into territory which would be more topical on the separate forum section about debuggers.

[ Set of Steps #1 ] - Open a project in your Visual Studio - Select Debug configuration - Select, for example, Win32 Platform - Build the project ( make sure that there are no any C++ compiler and linker errors ) - Press F10 and it starts the Debugger .

Did you try something like that?
