@tomhughes
Could you see if debugging will be activated when C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine is set to Default? There were recent changes to debugging that could have caused debugging to not be available when C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine is set to Disabled.

[tomhughes]

Yes that allows cpptools to load, but then the clangd extension popups a warning that it is not compatible with handing Intellisense enabled (https://github.com/clangd/vscode-clangd/blob/78cfb5de1606e3130710e0a2691686d2c69fe6e8/src/extension.ts#L38).

Might that be related to #9088 ?

[michelleangela]

#9088 is an installation issue whereas this issue is about enabling the extension's debugger features while IntelliSense server is disabled.

I returned the cpptools version to 1.8.4 this problem is gone

This should be fixed with 1.10.2 (pre-release).
