Answer: Wait a little bit for the Background Service/Process to finish running then try again to stop Debugging. This time it should allow you to stop Debugging an Asp.Net 6 Application in Visual Studio 2022. Leave a comment below if this helped you.


Unable to stop debugging. Operation not supported. Unknown error: 0x800004005

Edited Version 2
This error message typically appears when you are trying to run a program on a Windows operating system and the debugger is still attached to it. The debugger allows developers to step through the code and troubleshoot issues, but it can interfere with the normal execution of the program. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps
1. Close any debuggers that may be running on your system. You can do this by opening the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and selecting "Task Manager" from the list of options. In the Task Manager, find the debugger process and click on it to select it. Then right-click on the process and choose "End task". 2. Restart your computer. This will close all running programs and processes, including any debuggers that may be attached to them. 3. Try running the program again without attaching a debugger. You can do this by double-clicking on the program's executable file or by opening it from within another application (such as File Explorer). If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to seek further assistance from the developer of the program or from Microsoft support.
