title: Visual Studio Debugging is stuck at "Attaching to the web server"
body: <p>When I run my Web API application I get the following window:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dfmp2.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dfmp2.png" alt="Attaching to the web server"></a></p>
  
  <p>It just stays like that indefinantly, until I hit cancel.</p>
  
  <p>When I do hit cancel, this error message is shown:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VlccH.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VlccH.png" alt="Catastrophic Failure"></a></p>
  
  <p>I have tried rebooting, and running <code>iisreset /restart</code> but it does not fix it.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Any ideas what I can do to get my debugger working again?</strong></p>
  
  <p>NOTE: My Web API 2 project's Servers setting is set to <code>Local IIS</code>.  My service is hosted by IIS and when I am not debugging, it works fine.</p>
