Breakpoints are not highlighting the entire line in Visual Studio 2013

I recently installed the Update 2. So now when I put a breakpoint it just puts a red dot on the left side of the file, but it doesn't highlight the entire line. I am not sure if Update 2 changed the settings, but I thought so.

I tried this: in Tools>Options>Debugger>General>Highlight entire source line for breakpoints and current statement (C++ only). So it tells that this doesn't work for C#. What should I do to highlight the entire line?

UPDATE:

I could not find the configuration for VS2019. Then I searched a bit more and found that this command fixes the issue:

devenv.exe /updateconfiguration

Reference: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/debug-no-longer-highlights-current-line-yellow-lin/25156

Note: the problem started to happen after installing the lastest VS update.

I had the same problem on visual studio 2012 and by following the instruction by McNos, I was able to resolve the problem.

In my case, I renamed the registry node 11.0 to 11.0-OLD and 11.0_Config to 11.0-Config-OLD under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\

Restarted visual studio and it popped the config settings dialog...

Thanks McNos

I had the same problem and it went away by closing VS 2013 and delete / rename following registry keywords:

12.0_Config 12.0

in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\

when restarting Visual Studio, the config settings dialog appeared and I selected not to import settings from previous version.

Breakpoints and current line while debugging were normal again :)
