How to set "Start without debugging" in VS in topbar

How can I set "Start without debugging " in the top-bar of the Visual Studio 2019 IDE, instead of "Local Windows Debugger". I find it annoying that every single time I need to press CTRL + F5 to start without debugging.

I looked through settings but I didn't see anything. Maybe I missed something.

You can add virtually any command to the VS-2019 IDE's toolbars. At the right-hand side of the tooolbar where you want your command to go, click the small down-arrow and select the "Add or Remove Buttons" command from the pop-up:

Then, if the command you want is not shown in the list of 'available' buttons, select the "Customize" command (near the bottom). Then, in the pop-up box, click the "Add Command" button:

In the next pop-up, for the "Start Without Debugging" command, you have to (odd though it may seem) select the "Debug" category from the left-hand list and scroll down (some way) in the right-hand list to find it:

Once selected, click "OK" ad "Close" the first pop-up. The command button will now appear (probably at the extreme left-hand side) on the toolbar.
