Studio freezes while debugging

The Problem:
My Roblox studio freezes when I use the debugger. The run option works though. I am using Windows 10 64bit with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics.
The problem occurs since about mid December. On two other devices (which are not mine) I can debug without problems.
Now a strange thing just happened. I was just able to debug it once. Afterwards I closed the studio and tried again. But debugging didn’t work anymore after that.

My Test Setup:
I create a new Roblox game. Create a new script in ServerScriptService. Then copy the HelloWorld line 5 times. Set a breakpoint in the third line. Click on Play. The first two lines are displayed. Then when the debugger should start, nothing happens anymore. When I click on the button “No response” is displayed at the top of the window. From this point on I can only stop the studio.

What I tried so far to fix this issue:

  • Completely formatted my laptop and reinstalled Windows 10.
  • After that, the first(!) thing I installed was Roblox Studio
  • Old AMD drivers installed.
  • All drivers updated
  • Windows Updates performed
  • Antivirus software disabled and also uninstalled
  • Uninstalled Roblox and Roblox Studio several times, deleted appdata and registry entries, then reinstalled
  • Played Roblox for a while (Support said this might help)
  • Installed the Roblox Studio Mod Manger from CloneTrooper and tested with old Roblox Studio versions. link: https://github.com/CloneTrooper1019/Roblox-Studio-Mod-Manager
  • Logged into the studio with another account
  • I checked my firewall settings
  • I have created a new Windows user account (with a different name). (Sometimes with and sometimes without administrator rights)
  • Beta-Features: I tried several things. I didn’t even have any beta features enabled. But I also tried if it works with all activated features and I tried if it works with only a few activated features.

Thanks for the heads up. We’re aware of a debugger hang on Windows and have a fix in the pipeline, should be out in the next week or so.
