Sometimes I just want to run my Universal Windows Application in debug mode and do some exploratory testing, or just test drive a new change. However, when Visual Studio creates a new project it enables the diagnostic tools and frame rate counter by default.<\/span><\/p>\n

To prevent the Diagnostic Tools from starting when you debug go to the Debug-> Options dialog and uncheck the “Enable Diagnostic Tools while debugging”.<\/span><\/p>\n
