Exit code 2147483651 (0x80000003) in VS2022/.NET 8/SharpDX and no DirectX Debugging

Question

I'm working on a DirectX project using SharpDX and .NET 8 in Windows 11.

Application exits with error code (0x80000003) whenever there's an issue with the DirectX code, instead of providing me with DirectX debugging output. I even get this error when I exit the application "gracefully". Because of the lack of useful debugging output, I am left to blindly try and correct the code. I am very familiar with SharpDX and all of its quirks but VS2022 doesn't even raise an exception; the application simply exits with (0x80000003). The only debugging output I can get is from SharpDX itself when identifying COM objects which haven't been released.

I have:

• Reinstalled VS2022
• Reinstalled "Graphics Tools" (DirectX Debug Layer)
• Installed the latest Windows 11 SDK

I realize that (0x80000003) is a very general error that can occur under a wide variety of circumstances, but I am hoping someone here might be able to suggest a solution.
