Debugger stops at program entry point and not in main.

• MSVC compiler (cl)

Problem

When I start debugging a program, instead of the debugger breaking at main, it breaks before main and shows assembly no matter what I try.

I can switch back to the open buffer with my source, and issue a debug command to continue and it will stop at my breakpoint.

Question

How can I prevent the early breakpoint activation?

Source Code

#include <iostream>

int main() {
	std::cout << "hello world\n";
	return 0;
}
