Visual Studio 2015 Tries to Access Optical Drive After Debug Finished

You could disable the Standard Collector Service with following steps.

  1. Download a Windows Service Manager from this link: http://tools.sysprogs.org/srvman/
  2. Find the Visual Studio Standard Collector Service using the Service Manager UI. The Name of the service is "VSStandardCollectorService140".
  3. Select the VSStandardCollectorService140 service in Server Manager and click the Properties button in the UI to disable this service. enter image description here

Now no matter when starting debug or stop debugging, this service could not be started.


VS2019

You don't have to install anything. Just do the following:

  1. ⊞ Win + R
  2. services.msc
  3. Find Visual Studio Standard Collector Service
  4. double-click it and set Startup type to disabled

Currently I am not aware of any side effects.
