Visual Studio 2026 is bringing Copilot deeper into its debugging experience, with AI-driven exception analysis, smarter breakpoint handling, and inline insights that help developers understand code behavior in real time. These enhancements are designed to accelerate troubleshooting and reduce repetitive tasks during development.
Here’s what’s new:
Exception Assistance
Visual Studio analyzes your entire repository—not just the file you’re in. It reviews past bugs, pull requests, and previous fixes to detect similar issues, highlight affected code paths, and pinpoint where unexpected values may have been introduced.
Inline in Editor
No more hunting for errors one by one. Debugging insights appear directly in the editor, clearly showing which part failed and how it impacted the final result.
Debug with Copilot
When a test fails, the Debugger Agent reviews the test, its code, and recent changes. It proposes a fix, runs the test, refines the solution, and delivers a clear summary of what changed—and why.
