How to make Kestrel console window auto close/reset upon each rebuild in Visual Studio ASP.NET Core web projects?

I'm using VS 2019. By default most if not all of the ASP.NET Core web projects use IIS Express as the host under Debug settings and launchSettings.json.

What I tend to do, especially for web API projects, is to delete the IIS Express profile and instead use the "Project" profile/launch option.

This simply opens a Kestrel console window upon execution, and I like it how logs etc are shown in the same console for easy diagnostics.

But the problem is, if any code is changed, and I re-build the solution/project (Ctrl+B, Ctrl+Shift+B,Ctrl + F5 etc etc), I get the "Could not copy..." messages in Visual Studio, till I manually close this Kestrel console window.

This is not an issue with the IIS Express profile at all.

So how do I make it such that I don't have to manually close that Kestrel window each rebuild? This seems like a natural/easy thing to do but I just can't find the options.

You mean this?

Tools → Options → Debugging → General → Automatically close the console when debugging stops
