The program 'xxx' has exited with code -55 (0xffffffc9)

When pressing 'Start' to debug my application (currenly in WPF app, it happens with Console Apps too) the blue bar at the bottom changes to orange and says 'Loading symbols for mscorlib.dll' which then gives me this in the output window:

'xxx' (CLR v4.0.30319: DefaultDomain): Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_32\mscorlib\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\mscorlib.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
The program '[20892] xxx' has exited with code -55 (0xffffffc9).

However when I spam press 'Start' over and over again it eventually comes in a debugging sate and opens an actual window.

Configuration Manager is on Debug & Any CPU. Loading the .exe from the debug folder works just fine, using CTRL + F5 also works just fine.

Uninstalled all my Visual Studio versions and only installed 2017 Community back on my system and it still happens.

Searching for error code -55 doesn't give me anything either. Any help is appreciated.

The solution to the problem was removing Malwarebytes from my machine. As pointed out by Hans Passant.

Details:
Be sure to restart your machine after uninstalling the software.
I tested VS2015 Community and that ran just fine with the software installed.
